This story began about 18 years ago when I bought this truck for $800.00. If I knew then it would still be running, I would have put some more TLC into it. All-in-all this is a great truck despite how it looks at the car wash (I forgot to take the before pics, before…). It has been on the side lines for about 4 years because I have not had the front end redone and it is a bit unsafe to drive (or stop, it pulls to the right when braking (UPDATE; The brakes are fixed!)). I decided to start with a quick (1 hour) spray off at the local car wash. Next, I will get some “clean” photos.

There are several steps to getting this hunk of steel back to looking pretty. First and foremost, rebuild it from the ground up, literally. Rebuild front end $1,400.00, Tires $800.00, Suspension $500.00, New gas tank $200.00, Engine and Transmission rebuild $8,500 (I may be off A LOT). This is a good start, Next is making it easy on the eyes again. To put the body back in shape, it aint gonna be cheap! I really have no idea how much this will cost. By the time this project is complete, this will be a sweet ride to take on camping adventures and outings with family and friends!
