Mazda B5000 (Ford 5.0 V8)
 
Picked this up sunday. Its a project. Engine, transmission, and driveshaft already worked into the truck. Now its just get everything else buttoned up. The back has a HUGE triangle notch for a bag setup, with rear triangulated bars. Still sits on leafs tho. Front fenders are hacked out too. Just no real work on suspension.

Engine runs, just gotta redo fuel and coolant system. Has a shaved tailgate with frenched plate, shaved B2200 emblems, and shaved gas door, as there is a fuel cell in the bed.

Has both exhausts running into a 2in/2out flowmaster muffler. As soon as i get teh fuel delivery issue worked out, i'll focus on the radiator/cooling system. After that I'll focus on the wiring mess here.
