Juds One Ton Single Cab

[Jud]

Well here it goes. I'm sure you saw that I rolled my Xtra Cab so I am taking the axles, cases and all that good stuff and putting them under this runner. It's a 87 that I got for $1000 with a blown headgasket. Oh and I have to have it done by the 3rd weekend of August for a trip that I planned months ago. This is going to be fun!

When I brought it home








Took the top off




Heres my old truck as of tonight


The only straight body panel on the whole truck


And a fender on the wall for all my memories in that thing

wow, that is a lot of rust on the top... is any of that cancer? or just surface rust?

The top is all surface there is one little spot on the drivers sides door jam with a little cancer. I can just wire wheel it out and paint it tho.
