Flipper turns keeper... 67 upgrades

[HSRACER]

I have been a member for many years and do a bunch of work to my trucks but never seem to get around to a build thread. Figured I would document a truck I bought to flip but fell in love with.

I will turn it into my shop truck and am having a hell of a time not going full restoration on it. My wife reminds me frequently that this one was for a daily driver that you can actually use to haul old junk parts in.

It had a lot of things I liked and almost as much that I didn’t. Here are a few photos of what I started with.

Enjoy the ride and comments are certainly welcomed.
