Here are some of the earliest pictures I have of it's life. When I started it was completely stock and had been sitting outside for years. Keep in mind I was 16 when these were taken.

I had big plans for this truck so after the summer the last picture was taken I decided to store it. I then began the major changes that took place. Fenders, quarter panels, cab corners, rocker panels, rad support, bumper, radiator, body mounts, shocks, bucket seats, console, and a huge list of other things were all accomplished that winter. It then went for bodywork and paint, where the antenna was shaved, and a metal roll pan was installed and molded in.

This picture was taken the day that I got it back from paint/bodywork.

I then put on the pinstripe, put a new windshield with a tinted strip on, sanded, primed and painted the entire frame, changed all the lights, and a bunch of other small things and put it in a few car shows.

Then winter came again and I put it back in storage. Got a cowl hood for it and had it painted, along with a ton of other small things.

I honestly have no idea on the backspacing, I didn't buy them new. The tires are 265/70.
