70clone · 12-10-2008, 02:19 PM

i plan on going with a pro touring type deal i really want to make a truck that i can hit the curves in i know it wont be a track truck but im gonna make it handle better but for right now im gonna drive it the engine has about 3000 miles on it and the truck has been sitting for 4 yrs all be cause he parked it there and came back and it had a flat tire he broke 5 of the 6 lugs trying to fix it and sd screw it and let it set until i came along

Nice deal on a sweet truck!

70clone · 12-11-2008, 01:55 AM

thanx guys backed it out of the garage on its on power tonight

is the diamond tuck stock or is that aftermarket

ripdog28 · 12-11-2008, 03:17 PM

Good deal. My advice... Keep it on the road and just do a few parts at a time. The biggest mistake was taking the truck apart and not having the part to put back on it.

Lookin good! And I agree on keeping it driving. I would always tear mine up, eventually lose interest, finally put it back together and remember how much fun it is to drive! Keep up the good work
