Thanks, It has it's issues but I think it was worth it. Has an aluminum 4bl, holly carb, hooker headers, flowmaster exhaust. Steering is tight as a drum on this thing.

Well it was bought with the intention of parting it out between a friend and myself but it's really too nice for that. So as soon as I can get the time and the tools to work on it I will try to get it on the road and drive it at least twice a week to work. Needs new tires, has 16.5's on it now. Have 3 16's that look the same as the ones on there. I just need to pick them up and get tires on them. Need to clean the gas tanks out. Install a freeze plug. Possibly adjust the carb. Wash, Polish, and Wax it.... Then Drive it.

I agree its a nice truck, I would probably clean it up and sell it then take that money and put it into your white bump. "Profit"

Thanks guys, Not sure what I am going to do with it yet. Just got some 16 inch wheels so I can get rid of the 16.5's that are on her. 2 are white and 2 are silver but I will repaint them later if it bothers me. The in cab tank smells of varnish whenever I open the door so I bought a plastic 6 gallon tank for a boat to rig up until I find a place to clean it or do it myself. It might be for sale later... I am not sure. Pics to come later.
