U-bolt flip.... off a Chevy. If your not worried about re-using the U-bolts. Then this may be for you.
Price around $5-$10 P-N-P for a set.

getting your broke brother to work on your Rig for a pack of smokes. lol

seat belt strap to hold down the ice chest out back. One click away from cold drinks. belts were free.

spot welded to the bed so I don't have to drill a hole and buy some bolts.

backing plate eliminator. cut center out with cut off wheel. re install. Free


home made is always a good thing. Price something like $60


square drive shaft is always a cheap solution.

and the Gang that helps me out in one way or another. Thanks Buds.
that's me (4 eyes).

Mike

If ya got the skills and supplies or can borrow some, bob it. Turn signal mod is nice. One more thing i can think right now is I put new seats outta an eclipse in my truck.
Bobbed 84 xtra cab, pickin up parts as I go.

If at first you do not succeed, put it in 4low and try again.
