Just in case anyone was wondering.....I bought this truck a little over a year ago from a kid in Destin Fl. He was in Jail at the time, and the father had to get rid of it. The intent was just to get a good deal and make it the beater/shop truck. Well, after getting it home and realizing the damage that was done by father and son owners before, it has definately been a harder project than anticipated. Everything that was done had to be redone and then some. Things like the glass has to be replaced due to welding on the truck without covering it up. So if anyone knows where a solid back glass is that I can buy, I would definately appreciate it. Especially if they can bring it to scrapin the coast. The slag damage on it is extensive. thanks, billy
