note, the receiver stock goes into the beam. this allowed me to get 6 nice welds. then i cleaned up the bottom, to weld the new receiver to it.

near the brake booster is the large emissions control system from the 1997. fit good enough that zip ties worked for now. i will fab some brackets when there is nothing better to do.

Just behind the intake pipe you can see the 97 engine harness passing through the firewall in a new hole. there was a factory gromet there and i just enlarged the opening.

wider shot of a shortened bedliner. i liked the flat sides and i cut the access for the tie downs. this bed could still carry 4 X 35 inch tires.

this is a shot of an over-rail bedliner modified to fit under-rail and it was shortened by a foot to match my new bed length.

this has come along way from the farm truck i picked up. more mods to come this summer. i'm thinking a small stinger with lights, rollbar with lights, and rock sliders.

i think it turned out good, i wish i could have found another extended cab that had such a solid cab. my box sides may look good, but boy did i make a frankenbox. dozens of screws, two boxes to get enough metal, most of the skin is doubled up to provide extra stregth, then a little marglas to finish off the welds. i still can fit 4 35" mounted tires in the bed safely.

here she is. hour and a half away blown motor and sleeping on a horse farm. Craigslist is an evil place. my "trd" extended cab wasn't dead for a week. 600 bucks including the gas, trailer, lunch for a friend, and the wicked cap.

new springs in rear. oh, the motor wasn't blown. it was blowing out oil like crazy after a headgasket job gone wrong. the parking brake cable got pinched inbetween the block and head. i did not have the heart to call them up and let them know. he just spent 1200 having the truck mecanically overhauled.
