Hello, Curtis From MI. K30, 482CI,400,205 K30
« on: February 28, 2013, 11:16:53 am »
Had the truck for a while and ran it into the ground (or trees) following jeeps through tight trails.  Had its fun for many years until the body got too beat up and the doors wouldnt open.  Sad story, but now its getting rebuilt...  May start a build thread on it.  Has a healthy 482 matted to a TH400 and NP205.  One tons with 44" boggers.  Unfortunately the build will probably leave it sitting on 40's as I dont want to cut the fenders with the new body parts.  Here is an older pic of the truck.  Friends named the truck Duck Blind for obvious reasons...

     Welcome Curtis from California, is that a paint job or vinyl wrap ?  We would love to share and help with your build.  Pics are always a welcome part of post.

Welcome from Central California!

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

This was a paint job.  Bought the truck like that, but was an Advantage 3 piece stencil kit with clear coat over it.

Thanks for the warm welcomes
