this may take awile im copying this from another forum
bought the truck when i was 14 (now 16) been working on it since then it was totaled out from the insurance company so me i bought it from my brothers friend and started to fix it. there was no frame damages just the cab and body. I found a body at the local junk yard for 200. Last summer i moved the truck to my grandfathers shop because he had a junk yard where i found a motor and a cab for the truck still haven't finished it its hard working on it between school and having my grandfather live an hour away but heres how it sits rite now.

some of the other mods i have done is a 14bolt rearend and a brushgaurd i also painted the grill black with tinted sidemarkers and tail lights

i have blown 3 motors in the truck this summer being young and dumb with straight pipes but i guess its fun while it last as long as no none gets hurt.
it took me 4 years to build the truck and i love to drive it when i can i have a 6 inch lift that i can install in the spring currently the truck needs a clutch throw out bearing head gasket and a alternator that i plan on fixing come spring time before i lift the truck so stay tuned for the modifications that will come.
