kind of funny this truck was free but the good running motor was $500. my truck was $500 and i got a fresh rebuilt motor for free.
anyone have a spare rim like these. looking for just one (the drivers front has about 4" of the bead lip missing.

Great find for free. Wish I could get a free bee like you guys. Great pics. Nice garage, really scored good with that garage.
Good Luck with truck. Keep us posted on what you do to it. I know there will be more mods.

well its first long trip will be today, travis drove it down to phoenix (about 160 miles)
we pulled the wheels that are in the above picts and put some flat black ones on.
so if anyone wants the alum wheels above (only 3) shoot me a price.
also the A/T works great, i was impressed with it.

well the motor with the knock travis found someone to buy it and the a/t and transfercase. BUT on the drive home the oil bump went out. SOOOO the motor is now just a core. F____!!!! waiting on motor mounts/drivelines/wiring etc for the 4.3 Vortec swap.
not sure where this project will fall on the list. between the 3.4 swap we have going or the efi onto 350 in the Cherokee or building the 82 yota or making a car hauler trailer or .......
