Right, so that's the AQIS guys giving it the $200 hose out? Congrat, you got them home at last!
I'll love to see some more photos. E.g. just from the pics above I can see 2 nice pairs of extended towing mirrors with indicators on the end. How many are you going to be needing? What wheels were on Blackie? I know Red was a 10 stud..
Red would have been a 6.0? Want to part out the IC and/or transmission cooler?

All the stuff from the red truck will be kept. The black truck has a really nice leather lariat trim (grey too for our aussie trucks), with both front seats electric. The cab is a little crappy, but doors are real good, has rear sliding window, tow mirrors as you seen, wheels are sold already, engine, diffs and box will be kept, but will sell the electric transfer case.
Will post some more pics later

well, finally got the truck last week. Drives awesome, all good considering its mileage 320k kilometres (200k miles for you mercan friends). Power windows are a little slow and one way of the power mirrors dont work, fan and air con dont work, but hopefully simple things (quickly checked fuses but not them). Anyways, forgot to take before pictures, but since it has a lengthened chassis and a tub wont fit, i decided to fit a flat tray. Bought one off a mate that would fit, had to remove heaps of extra crap that had welded on and fit:
The cab guard will be modified as it is ghey right now and i hate it so will be more like this on my old truck:
Just to match the line of the cab and look better in general.

got the 6637 on yesterday and a straight pipe off one of the usa trucks. sounds obnoxious, its just straight pipe dumps before the diff. way to loud and really droney under the tray, temporary til the gearbox comes out for 4x4 swap and the 4" downpipe goes on.
noticable power wise, put a cheap superchips(1855, definatly more smoke than the 1705 we used to use) on a few weeks ago til i do some other mods, and goes good really.
next up is the frx and hutch mod, have the parts just need to get it done.
