Re: Before and after!

My truck when I first got it. It smoked like an old dirty whore, the tonnue had a boner that lasted more than four hours. The front alignment was more crooked than beetle juices teeth and with that rear rake you swear it was haulin a** everywhere but instead it just lethargically dragged it

Years later here it is now



And my stepside I got as a just a shell I just got it running yesterday hasn't had an engine since '08

Love all the before and after pics! Keith - reading your thread was highly enjoyable, great story! Here is my 81' when I got it 12 years ago. Second pic was its first paint job and rims. Last pics are of how she is now.

Re: Before and after!

It ugly but there's a lot going on underneath that the pictures don't show. Started out as a free longbed with bad engine. Coupled with a welder and a 75 dollar Craigslist step bed and some shop time it is getting better every day.
