time to start a build thread. i bought this truck from a previous owner from this board. from the sounds of it the truck, was built pretty well but has been through a few previous owners. my plans are basically to finish the truck and hopefully have it shot for a feature in a magazine. ive always wanted to have a vehicle of mine in a mag so hopefully i wont lose interest in this and get it done. Plans are to re work some of the suspension. again the builder did put together and decent setup just needs some small tweaking. paint and wheels are a must, plus finish up the inside. i want to go with a classic theme and keep it relativelly simple. here are a few old pictures from when i got it. enjoy!

I Would absolutely rock those wheels and paint color on it except I would have to have a clear gloss coat instead of being flat. Want to trade?
