BlueAKSSS Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Thought I'd show you guys my other truck that I completly built up from the ground up. Started off as a free project truck of craigslist (short bed frame, cab, vin and title). I then completely restored it over the last 2 years basiclly and drove it to my graduation last May! Started off with a Straight six and granny gear 4 speed with a 3.73 posi trac. I decided to get rid of the six and the 4 speed and go with a 5.3L out of a 2002 chevy truck with a 4l60e. Redid the wiring harness and wired it all up. Did all the body work myself and my dad painted it in the carport homemade paint booth . Anyway here's the pics!

Cramer Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I know how much work it takes to restore and do a ground up. This is a beautiful truck. It looks like all your hard work and money paid off. I love the color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
