4 Attachment(s)
So i picked up this super cab a few months ago and have been working on it little by little. It is a lariat model so it came with all the bells and whistles like tilt column, intermittent wipers, lighted vanity mirror, and so on..I picked it up for $900 and about 5 hours of driving north to get it. it had a rebuilt 400 engine and c6 trans, np205 tcase with a dana 44 front axle and 60 rear.
heres when i first brought it home. Attachment 230180 Attachment 230181 Attachment 230182 first thing i did was remove the camper Attachment 230183 |

I then swapped in a front dana 60 with crossover steering and installed a 6" skyjacker lift and 37" tires. also put on my bumper with warn 12k winch.
Attachment 230184 i cleaned up the engine bay a bit and installed dual optima red tops, new super cooler radiator and a few other things. Attachment 230185 Attachment 230186 Attachment 230187 Attachment 230188 |

Now im at the point where im swapping in a np435 manual trans. i had the trans rebuilt by a friend and i resealed the transfer case.
Attachment 230196 since im already going to have the rear drive shaft redone with 1350 yokes im going to swap in a 14 bolt with a detroit locker and disc brakes. Attachment 230197 I just started tearing it down today and here is how it sits. Attachment 230198 Attachment 230199 |

I wish I could find a deal like that....

Wow, very nice truck and a steal for $900. There is one very similar to that for sale locally for $5000. And he will probably get that for it.

That is a very good looking truck. Where did you find it? I'm about 5 hours North of you. Just curious.
