The rear fenders look awesome! So, why didn't you keep the original paint job?

Wow - beautiful truck my friend.
Love what you've done with it.

I'd love to get my 4Runner as clean as that one of these days.

looks great. I would love to do a frame off on my '81.

Any plans for more tubing on the bed, support bars?

Bed wasn't really designed to be a roll cage, just a tubular flatbed, I figure either way if it gets rolled the cab will get trashed so the plan is to keep it on all 4's......hopefully that plan works out !!

hmmm. i see a common theme in the input bearing, mine looked familar when it burned up last month.

i like the diamond plate on the tunnel cover, with duals etc planning on 2 more holes?
that interior almost looks to good to wheel:bigok;

finished product on the bed is great!
