New bowtie guy from Iowa

Hey all, just bought a 1998 ecsb. Got a good deal as a no start. Just put in a battery.



Some things need attention, but it runs and drives.

Thanks.

Welcome! Looks like a good start (besides those rims) I'm definitely following this

Yeah, I'm about to offload those, in trade for some 17" ansens. I don't need much more than 33". Redo the exhaust, clean up the interior, fix the popping door hinges, rear window latches, replace the box, junk the topper ( or make it a sled, ha-ha), and try to tackle the rust.

I've been reading up on switching knuckles off of a newer truck, and maybe ditching the 10 bolt for a 14ff.

For what I paid, I can put a decent ount in it before I start to lose profit.

I actually have my eye on one of these trucks that's sitting behind someone's garage. It's got air in all the tires but my sisters boyfriend says he thinks it's not running. I either wanna score one for super cheap and put some work into it or get a super clean one. You definitely made off well if you're talking all of that and still coming out ahead
