Nice body lift! Just messin' 

That is a perfect truck for a project like this...it can only get better.
Why are you going with a D44 in the front instead of a D60?

[wa4x4]

You got that truck for free? How complete is it? How much of the frame are you going to use?

[MiniSimp]

You have been officially caught not reading his post!

Wow brainfart I guess. I thought he said gas tank and crossmember or something. My bad...

Ipicked up a chevy truck minus motor for a couple of hundred bucks and this was the running gear that was under it it also haad a th350 might stick with toy drivetrain if anything I could trade them for toy gear.

[trevinotrek [OP]]

Well got the back of the cab cut off today . I'm going to extend the back 30-36" and tube the rearmore pics to come

[MiniSimp]
