Re: Finally!!!
Yea, i'm pretty suprised about the condition of the truck. I found it on craigslist. Took a huge risk by driving out there with only seeing one picture of it. The single wall top and hatch are in near perfect condition. The body of the truck has a little rust on the pass. side floor, and there are a few little spots in bed near the tailgate. But other than that the truck has no body damage or bondo/filler whatsoever

Re: Finally!!!
I see it has 8 lug wheels. Does it has 3/4 ton axels. Looks like a good start. What are your plans? Are you going to wheel it or is it for street?

Re: Finally!!!
Yea, it has 3/4 ton axles. Not too sure what the plan is, since it has a lot of equipment that i was planning on putting on already. I guess I got a head start. I live in the L.A. area, so its going to be on the street most of the time. Its definetly not going to be like all the other 4x4's in this area though. Theyre all for looks. Most of them probably havent even been offroad. It will have its fair share of dirt/mud. Thats what these trucks were made for
