Lurkys 80' North Idaho Style!

This is my yota! I bought it about 6 months ago or so...i bought it from my buddies dad who bought it new in 1980. The truck was all original but badly rusted (including the frame :/ ) But with a welder and Pirahna any metal task can be tackled...Added the "Dog Catchers" a couple weeks ago and last weekend installed the bucket seats (so much better than the bench in my personal opinion) and built a center console which is not finished yet, still gotta add a hinge and latch (any Ideas?) built a front bumper as well but the its not really in the pictures...i will add soon. let me know what u guys think...Thanks for looking!

Thumbs up

I like the rig Lurk, the flat bed is very clean looking the tail lights are a bit tucked away , people will still see the truck either way, attack that rust! i cant see the front bumper, hope it dosent look smittybuilt-ish. your intrior is in great shape, i put sr5 buckets in mine n got a 4runner center console i could put in ,but was thinking of making a center console out of wood to fit my likes.dog catchers make it look like a bad azz truck that dose work too... looks like its waiting just for snow!
