88 R30 cclb, very slow moving project

Well I just joined up today, I've had my 88 crew cab long box dually, 454 th400 2wd, sitting in my driveway for the past 2 months slowly picking away at things to get more the look i want outa it, but winter kinda snuck up on me and i haven't been able to make much progress on it. I bought the truck for 1100, it was an old work truck only has 180xxxkm on it, but the truck itself needs some love. There were some things i didn't notice till after i bought it, that i wish i had noticed, Could have saved a bit of money. all and all the truck isn't horrible.

The plan for it, this year is just to bag it and hopefully get it down laying frame, I plan to fix up some of the body work and make it look better over time but that isn't the main goal. I'll also be picking up a 4l80e off a friend that I plan to toss in there to make it a bit more drivable.

Eventually the plan is to lay rocker or door(not sure yet) and toss a cummins 12valve under the hood.

With everything I'm doing to this truck I don't want to lose any towing ability with it so any frame mods I do are going to be strengthened to all high hell, since I plan to use this truck to tow my 92 suburban to car audio events

I'll toss some pictures up later with some of the progress I've made from when I got the truck to now...Nothing major

well I went to a new wrecking yard near my place and picked up a new door for the rear drivers side, the original door had rotted away so badly i could pull the skin away from the door shell up about 8" from the bottom, also snapped a pic of my nicely rotted rocker on the truck, fixing that once it gets nice out.

nice truck man..projects all take forever to build haha

welcome to the site from northeast ohio

my projects ussual go pretty fast, but this one i need to slow down, cause I dont want to fuck this one up, lol, I'm dealing with my insurance company to try and get this beast on the road so i can atleast enjoy it abit before getting to far into it

well I made a trip out to the wreckers againg and grabbed afew more parts this weekend. got a new panel for the gauge cluster and a tilt steering column to replace my non-tilit column, I'm goin back next weekend to get a new hood and maybe fenders, and I have a new tailgate lined up through another guy up here.

been piling up parts for the truck lately, hopefully soon i'll be able to make some progress..... damn weather, another set of front doors, 2 sets od c10 mirrors, new vent cowl, new hood, an 81 bumper, and a scrap 22.5" semi wheel to machine down before i buy some good ones

Looking good

i really want to start getting into my truck but i can't yet, I have my buddies blazer here that i need to drop a damn motor in, so until thats gone i have to wait and just slowly collect parts
