Well the rebuild is strating off slow.The frame was sandblasted and went to powdercoat, when the frame was preheated after it was washed the tar inside the frame melted out. So now he has to try to burn the tar out and then reblast the frame.I have also changed my mind on the front of the truck im thinking 08 hoe. Will be ordering some engine parts soon..

well alot has been done since last time i posted on here. i have moved twice and not moving no more.. almost finished with the truck being drivable.. the plan is to put it back together and enjoy it for a while . then build another motor and trans. the truck is going back white, bc it will be cheaper and faster..
