This is what I bought on 1 December 17, 2014 for $700.00 while doing a computer deal with a customer. I noticed this was parked in front of her house for sale and looked to be a solid truck. Hopped in, hit the key and without fail fired up and ran prefect, paid the lady, slammed the door and the venture begins
Thank you...I'll post these in stages so I don't flood this area. This is what was completed on December 24, 2014. At this point I ordered Center link, inter and outer tie rod ends, Idler and the Pitman arm and was installed. The only rust that was found was at the tail gate area which will be fixed. Also had to track down a leak that was pumping water onto the passenger side floor. Turned out that the antenna was not sealed where it attached to the fender and the rain was following it straight onto the cab floor. No rust there either. Straighten the metal around the opening and now water less in the cab
On December 27, 2014 I got the hood writing removed and almost ready. This isn't something I normally do with rigs but this one I fell in love with from day 1
January 3, 2015 worked on removing all the BS primer from this truck. Removed the factory low back seats and installed a pair I bought from Craigslist
On January 5, 2015...the truck started coming apart looking for any signs of rust and fixing what was needed had a few minor spots on the hood where holes was drilled that needed a bit of repair. The door jams and back of the cab painted at this point
Very nice. I like your side view mirrors I need some for my truck. Having a ton of trouble finding them in the states.
