Holy cow! Did you dig that hole with that little tractor??? Truck looks great. Love the color.

looks more like a natural hole that needs to be filled

Wow. What a transformation! Nice truck.

Thanks! - no i didnt dig it out, I pumped the water out and cleaned out all of the sludge that built up in it.

Oh thank goodness... Man looking at how clean that truck turned out makes me want to rehab the K30 I just picked up for the plow. I hope my wife isn't reading this!

MTCK - Go for it! Dont let it rot to pieces! Parts for these trucks are so cheap.

Thanks Zane, Whitels and Greenlee

Got some updates, finally got the lift gate done and back on as well as the hitch.

Brought the exhaust out before the wheel, it was just dumping underneath which im not a fan of because of the moisture it creates. the downpipe and left over parts I had from my old Cummins worked perfect. I just welded the 4" right over the 2.5" Turned out awesome for free

Finally got her out to the bush, was all going good until I broke through the frost and got stuck. Had to take the tractor next time to skid the logs out. This winter has been too mild to take the truck back again. The lift gate is definitely a back saver!

Nice! That's awesome. I love seeing the old trucks getting worked. Your rig really turned out nice.
