Done in 30 days here's story and the pics ya'll
 

the build went great still have a hair or two left still married . my wife and i busted butt we both worked dooring the day so it was just nights and the week end . we started on the truck last week end of august frame was blasted off we went

the frame is a 1987 3/4 ton put dana 60 in the front 14 bolt corprett in the rear
had to move the rear up 4" make body mounts after that was done painted the frame put the 454 motor together set that in and started on the body the body was in great shape painted the under side and fire wall and set it on the frame. there's a lot but i don't think you want to read a book so i will cut this short.

so on and so on its getting close to the end of the month 0n sept 30th i was putting the finishing touches on her and on that tue's night at 1:00 it was done know heres the kicker 4:30 weds morning i firerd it up and drove it to mississippi:crazy:
