I didn't paint Crystal's truck...a friend of mine did, but since you're close by, we could get together and chew the fat sometime! :D

Got Crystal's truck back together today! Thanks for your help Haulin It (Lorne). Now I'm on the hunt for a rebuilt 700R4, need to do some front end work, redo the interior, and some electrical, but it sure does look nice! Vile, we have the same seats in Crystal's truck as you do in your Blue K20 Longbed, (they're grey in yours)...do you know where to get the console top with the cupholders like yours? Crystal's are wood grain over particle board, and they're falling apart. She also needs a new seat tilt handle, her driver's side is stripped.

Here's a few pics...

That sure is an awesome looking truck.

I would love to build truck like that for my ol' lady.

Somethings I would consider for her truck.......

It would be a 81~87 shorty 4x4.

She likes red, so I guess red it would be.. I would like to build her truck with the '91 Blazer grille, cab lights, and the stepside pick-up box.

Just for good measure I would drop in one of the D60/14-bolt 1-ton drivetrains in it that we have laying around so she couldn't tear anything up hauling groceries. Add the granny 4-speed, and NP-205 and we would have a winner.

Where did you get your chrome stoneguard for the hood?
Real trucks are built, not bought Build thread

Give me a long enough lever and a place to stand, and I shall move the earth or break this bolt...Whatever, just hold my beer!
