~My 1979~
« on: February 17, 2009, 11:12:11 pm »
I picked this truck up on “craigslist” for $1200.00 as a roller. I got it back in Oct. of 08’, I believe. Here are a few pics when I pulled it off the trailer. I had to go to the junk yard to get some rims and tires on it to move it around….so that’s why it’s got random rims on it..LOL!

Started working on the ladder bars and removed 11.5" from the rear end for the back tires to fit correct.

Not in the pic but the frame over the rear end has been "step notched" for travel and some supports have been tied in for the shock mount. Ordered a 10 point roll cage and will be boxing in the frame as well.

I guess I'll gets some more updated pics and post them up later.
