So I found this truck sitting behind a body shop on 08-09-2011. It had sat like this for 7 years. I only paid $700 for it. My wife and I had been looking for me a project and this was #2 on my list for the ultimate build. #1 is a NL320 which I call the dream chaser because I know I won't find one. So this is pretty much my dream build. I've had Toys in the past but never one like this. Anyway, I want to have it done in time for our next show, Scrapin the Rockies, which will be next August. We just had our first show Sunday 08-14-2011 and it was a big success. My laundry list for this truck isn't long but I want everything to be very specific to my vision. Time for pics, I hope you enjoy this as much as I will. Oh and sorry I just typed all this up on my phone and realized I can't upload pics. They are coming.

 

you can load pic from your phone, you just need the photo buck app

 

I have it but I guess I'm too "old" to figure it out.

 

Where she sat for 7 years

Her new home and getting ready for Scrapin the Rockies last Sunday

 

Why was it sitting back there for so long?

 

It got rearended and the guy lost interest.

This morning:


Yup, its still morning:

 

Nice upgade. Why didnt you gab that other bed he had there to?

 

The other bed came with it but its pretty damn rough too.

 

Welcome to TM. So it's bagged and it cost $700? Where do you live?

 

Nice . So you got 1 extra bed and a bagged truck for 700$? Man why cant i find a deal like that.

 

I found it in Longmont Colorado. I have been looking for an ex-cab sr5 for a very long time but their aren't many 2wd trucks here

Nothin better than an ex cab...... Except a bagged runner

Cant believe you did the front swap already.... did you have that lined up prior to purchase?

John, I just pick up the front last Monday. Wasn't lined up but planned long before I found the truck. The deal you offered for your wheels still good? It'll take me a couple weeks to pull the cash but I do want them.
