Re: The Project With No Name

About time you got this started! Dang we waited like a whole day for it. So...spill the beans on the plans. Otherwise I will just continue to think you just wanted a farm truck.

Whatever man you are just like the rest of us. We have plans even before we get a truck.

It looks like a great starting point. I want to know where it is sitting at in the pics. There are quite a few nice rides in there. Is that where projects go waiting for a start?

Keep us updated man!

Re: The Project With No Name

What kind of bed do you have in mind ? I ask because that looks like a cab/ chassis truck and it will need a narrow bed not a dually bed.

Re: The Project With No Name

When I started selling Jeeps last year, I thought to myself..."I am gonna use a set of those headlights on something." They are a great subtle update to older vehicles. Kinda like putting the Mini Cooper lights on a 39.
