Long story to this truck. Short version:
I bought it Summer of '04 for $250 as a parts truck. Had "Something Cracked" is all I knew (head, block, didn't know, but too good to pass up for parts). Turned out to be the intake manifold gasket. Had it running for $100.
Here's the day it came home.
And beside my '91:
Less than a week after I got it running, the transmission starting leaking so bad I had a smoke screen. Transmission shop somehow dropped it from the lift, 6ft fall, over $2000 damage, would have been totalled. (if they didn't have a body shop that owed them money).
The Damage:
After a few months and a lot of fighting with both the body shop and transmission shop, it came out looking like new.
Since then I've herced the rockers and a rim around the wheel wells, added some lights, a cb, "custom" wiring box, and a 2" lift.
Here's what it looks like now.
There's a lot more pictures of this truck and my '91 in the link in my signature.
