Project Granpas Hand Me Down 1990 Step-side

[96LS6.0]

So a lil back story. My late grandpa bought his truck back in the lat 90s. He was the 2nd owner. I use to drive this thing all over the place when I would go spent summers with him. Fast forward to early 2019, Grandpa sold me the truck for $800 and I drove it home. Few months later he passed away. So this one wont go anywhere. Im a hardcore Mini Trucker since 1996 and at almost 40 im still at it. SO with that being said this truck will lay rocker panels on the ground soon. Now on with the Pics and build so far.
