good job man!

and I thought I had some vehicles that I'd never get rid of or couldn't kill, lol

thanks, When my mom had it i wound up sinking it in a river with 3inches of the roof showing and once we pulled it out it ran fine. Its seen the passenger side on rocks nearing the ground twice now. and the main reason i wanted to do the cab swap was because i skipped out on sliders and trashed the rockers right away. The bed was rusted and had been folded over a few times. I get the question of why dont i buy a new truck with all the money im dumping in this but the answer is simple for me. I cant afford to pay cash for a new truck and this one was my first car/truck ever....I have had 40something cars and trucks now.....Who ever gets the first one back? The trucks been through hell so why not reward it. New paint, No rust and an updated interior will make it nice to drive daily.

The goal is to make it a truck that looks like it never has seen a dirt road but gets wheeled a lot. Inside it will look new(cause it is) and the outside will be perfect so really it is a new truck just built to my spec. I couldnt wheel a truck i was paying on....just couldnt happen.
