hey yall i thought id start one thread of my whole truck instead of starting new ones everytime i did something to it lol. Its gonna be slow, hinging on money as always. the plans for it are sas, 5.29s with ARBs f/r, 35s maybe 37s, it will be a DD so well just have to see. anyways- here she is.

about a week after i bought it, i painted the rims black. oh and this was also with a newer door and fender because the PO flopped it about right before i bought it.
these pics were taken about a month after i got it.


interiors real clean

low miles




had a huge exhaust leak and barely any muffler so i took it to a shop and they threw a flowmaster 40 on.

 

then i decided i didnt like the look of the black on black, so i painted it red and black.







then i painted this stupid thing on the back which lasted for about a week lol

 

so i drove it like that for a while. then my brother said he had some 33s he was giving away. only 2 matched, but i was like hell yea! i really didnt like the look of a 4 inch lift with 31s. so i bought some procomp rockcrawler rims and slapped em on.

 

then i got a thorley header and some toys. i hooked a PA system up to my cb and i also got one of these



compressor and tank in temporary location:


and i just like this picture

 

Nice project!

 

so today i decided to go flex it out see what she could do with the new (to me) bfgs














yea yea i know i gotta finish that back left wheel

overall was pretty happy with it

 

and my mudflaps for anyone that cares lol



how i mounted em- the body goes lower than the frame and i had these brackets lyin around so i put two together and the mounted a pipe to them and that to the mudflaps.

 

oh yea its a start haha

 

thats it for now. told you it would be slow

 

holy hell, do you have bottom bump stops on the thing. I have yet to see an IFS stuff that far.

oh wait never mind, I see then they just were not extended. looks like you might have the chance of bottoming out that shock. Don't know if that's good or not. But it is crazy stuffage.

 

Yeah the extentions are NOT there... Meh....

 

hehe yep

 

oh and ill try to get a vid of the train horn sometime in the near future

 

im cleaning the engine and the interior thoroughly tomorrow so when i do ill get pics for yall

 

i took this pic in the morning. now we got like 2 in of slush yeehaw!




ok so heres after i cleaned the engine i should have got before pics but o well






anybody know what this switch might be for? it doesnt do anything and i tried tracing the wire but it just disappeared behind the dash

heres where the wire goes. i took the glovebox off and it went up behind the dash and disappeared

 

heres the interior. the floor aint bad, but i will be ordering new carpet and sound deadener soon.


got the carpet back in, not bad, but still stained


fixed my redneck sound system up and popped it back in



and seats back in

 

my guess is that switch is for an automatic garage door opener or a passive alarm hard to tell but very old school.

 

found this! this was about 10 minutes after i bought it, the first fill up haha

 

i kinda wish it was still like that lol

 

wow! That is a nice rig.
