Well, I found it and have worked out a deal. I should have possession by February 2013. Having to do some "horse trading" to do the deal with limited funds, but it's working out.
One of the first things I need to do is lower it. Not into the weeds since it will be a daily driver, but the stock height for a 2wd vehicle is a bit obnoxious to me.
I got lots of plans (don't we all) so it's just a matter of making it happen.
The goal is to make a clean looking work truck that I can cruise with too. One vehicle from the field to the club to the museum to the back 40 for a bon fire with some friends, while being able to haul whatever comes up.
I'm a mechanic and a jack of many trades, including fabrication, which should prove to be rather handy for this beast.
Oh, and my name is Keith.
That's enough rambling, i gotta go post my first question!
