Awesome. What does the inside look like? How's the frame? I lost one that was perfect except the frame rusted through at the shock. My son just picked this up in July. That's a $1500 front bumper that was more or less free with it. It has new Bilstein shocks and nice fog lights. The license is blurred because it's the former owner's. He let us drive two hours home with it. I love these trucks.

Not overly modified, wheels, tires, new paint, definitely a top to bottom cleaning. Might get a little crazy on the paint, depends on my painter.

Inside is great, just dirty, seats and carpet have no rips or tears. Yanked the tranny out tonight and the frame was virtually rust free. Until I get the pressure washer after it at least. The back bumper was cancered up pretty bad, but it's in the scrap pile already.

Got the T-body built, LCE balance shaft delete finished, and the head on the motor.

Thats a pretty motor! If the rest of the build follows that, it'll be something to watch for sure!
