my sweet bumper and axle got it lookin flat and repainted little description on the truck. i got it for 600 bucks my buddy bought it for me and i added a stereo and tool box and mobbed it around for awhile deciding what i would do with it and my buddy lowered his so i decided to 4x mine i welded the rear end and startin whippin donuts all day long. then added the bumper and the coil spacer lift and did body work and painted it primer yellow then sanded it down with more body work and then primed it gray it turned more like blue and picked up an axle with a sky mfg truss and a diff guard forgot who it was made by its missing a birf hubs/rotors and calipers. my friend had some parts laying around for the sas so all i need now is hubs a birf and high steer and a steering column i may have a line on hubs and i will start a thread once i start doing the swap
