Hello, Hi, Bonjour,
here are some pictures of my truck that I own since October 2020
it was requiring a lot of maintenance since it is a previous work truck, probably a farm truck from what I deducted.
last owner bought it about 5 hours away sitting in a field with a broken transmission, had it transported to his storage facility and had the transmission and radiator replaced.
I bought it a year later and did quite some things to preserve it !
it is still in a rough shape because it is a eastern truck but runs well

when i bought it :

there was no tailgate, found one near and painted it with a metallic mercedes grey, would love to do the complete truck in this color one day !
repaired and painted the bumper

recently changed the radiator support and bushings
support was completely rotten on right lower side and bushing were gone.
here is a picture of the engine 350 TBI

i did :
left front bearing
complete exhaust line with cata delete, there is short headers from when i got it
trans cooler
wiper motor
front fender liners
rear shocks
roof and taillights
added a LED bar under the bumper

the truck was repainted with a urethane paint. it was very mat so i completely wet sanded with P1500 grit and P2000 then buffed it out, it turned out very good ! its not the same truck anymore it now has gloss !
