    Whats up fellas! After months and months of searching Craigslist up and down I finally found an Original, Reliable Pickup. It was up in Nashville, so i sold my 8 year old (very reliable) Pontiac g6 on 2/27 and took a chance on this ol girl.

    Picked her up with 235 original miles from the original owner! Was bought new in Jasper, AL and John Crump Toyota...Which is now Scott Crump Toyota! One of the coolest things about the truck was the original bumper that was stamped from the Dealer.

    She has her flaws, but I have been dreaming about this truck for months now...NO RAGRETS.

    This is literally the only thing I've done in the cab, But its a very important piece to the puzzle!
    BEFORE.

    AFTER. I also threw in a led bulb

    Then i did a thing...
    [​IMG]

    I ordered 2" drop spindles and 4" blocks for the rear, along with some 15x10 Crager v5's with 195/50. Made a weekend out of it, and as you can imagine I'm not even close to being done :headbang:

    Had a little fire to burn all the parts boxes
    [​IMG]
    Then i wanted Pizza
    [​IMG]
    Spotted on my way to work...ha
    [​IMG]
    I live on a gravel road...and my wheels don't really fit :duh:

    [​IMG]

    Took a cruise through the mountains

    [​IMG]

    Since I'm a detailer i spent all day yesterday bringing back that amazing 31 year old paint...Not to toot my own horn or anything, but DAMN I'm good haha.

    I pulled the bedliner and cleaned underneath.

    [​IMG]
    It would be a disgrace to cover up such a minty bed :eyecrazy:
    [​IMG]

    Then i did a full polish and wax

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Next on the list is lower more and pull fenders, i will be re-painting the frame and start work under the hood and on the interior!

    Stay tuned...I'm not selling this one anytime soon!
