Here is the frame after several cleaning processes. This truck was covered with oil and grease from front to back. I don't know how it rusted so bad with all that oil on it.

You can see the old cab upside down in the backround of this pic. It was really bad.

Next up was to get the fuel tanks prepped and painted.

Next it was time for the powertrain. Since the only reason this truck was torn apart is because Scott blew up the perfectly good 350 goodwrench engine, he bought my 427 tall deck and we put it back in the frame.

Now it has a D44HD up front, a 14BFF in the rear, both axles have 4.10 gears, it has a 6" Rough country lift, 36" tires with new aluminum wheels. The 4speed and NP208 are the only pieces original to the drive train.
