I was having a little trouble getting this tread started >:( so here is some more info.  My cousin bought the truck in 86 and sold it to my uncle in 91, he drove it untill 02 when he died.  I bought it in 06 and started working on it in summer 07 and got it to where its at in the pics whith the help of my father in law.  Work on the truck has stoped since I was laid off from my job, but I still do what I can and enjoy driving it.  The truck is a Scotsdale it has power windows, locks, tilt collumn, 350 that we swaped in and a 6/7 drop on 20" Billet Specialties.  I was thinking of posting pics of the build but wasnt sure where?  Members Rides or Members Projects?

I understand some times a truck has to do what it is intended for and it is cool when you see a nice truck still preforming some of its truck duties.
