Ok. So you haven't typed from a phone before? I'm sure I can go back and find a few typos in some of your posts. I won't do that though because I know what was meant when something says "trick" and we are talking about a "truck"! Now your just being argumentative.

And yes I will ask top dollar for my X if I ever sell it. And if anything starts to rust again it will be fixed. If someone doesn't want it that's there choice. I'm done discussing this. It's pointless!

Back on topic!

 

Scored the tires I wanted for $200, they are like new. Got the truck home will start on it tomorrow, Also have to pickup the paint tomorrow. Going to call a few people who might have the hood or bumper and see what I can dig up.

Cut part of the junk hood out to match the paint



Parts


It's SO nasty




The tires




It's home!

 

I think you have a good plan Russ, good luck with the flip and I hope you make the deadline!
Here in PA the checks tend to go from the citizens to the state, not the other way around like up there.

 

Looks like a lot of fun Russ! Don't forget to remove the 3000 obo before selling it.

 

Good luck. Shouldn't have an issue selling when your done! Man you weren't kidding about the interior! How can someone be such a slob?!!!

 

Awesome project Russ

 

looks like several spilled sodas. pull the floor mats and redo photos.

 

just photoshop the flaws out on the craigslist add itll save you time.

 

That would save a lot of time and money, but wouldn't give me the final product I'm going after. I'm hoping when it's all done that it's something I'd be happy to have in my collection.

I found parts, going tomorrow to make a deal and pick them up. Paint is in my garage. If all goes right I'll have the hood and fender painted this week fingers crossed.


I started on it today, cleaning the battery terminals and charging it up. Then started removing the lights and header panel. I'll have to pull the inner fender out a little to make it all fit correctly again.

 

ugg not paddle mirrors.

 

Just scored a good hood and bumper (with a half dollar size dent) for $300. Looks like I should be able to get the parts into paint this week.

 

Very cool find.

 

Picked up a bumper and hood today, spent a total of $300 for all the parts today.

Did a little redneck body work and hung the new fender and hood. I have a lot of work to do getting the panel gaps correct and prep work on the hood/fender.

Starting to look like a truck again!






The bumper bracket was bent and I couldn't get it to move. I had an idea to drop the snow plow on it and damn if it didn't work like a charm!




Hood is popped in these pics

 

Making good progress Russ!

 

So this week has been rough at work, I came home last night and got drunk. No work on the truck haha

This morning though I headed down to the DMV to put the title in my name and fingers crossed that there were no flags in the DMV system on the truck. I'm happy to report I have a clean title in my name now.

I'll work on fitment tonight, get the bumper put together and cleaned up. Header panel and headlights installed. I'll then drive the truck down to my shop so I can remove the fender and hood to be preped for paint and get them shot this week.


On another note, I slow charged the battery for a long while, tried to start it last night and it wouldn't start so it'll get a new battery also. Another $100 I didn't plan to spent but it needs it.
