Hey fellas!!

Hope everyone is having a good New Year so far. I just wanted to introduce myself and my new project. I just picked her up a couple of months ago. This is my first project so I’m going to be asking you guys ALOT of questions! I’m currently in the Marine Corps and stationed in California. The truck runs great, just needs a lot of work. If you guys have any advice before I get started it would be very appreciated! It has the stock 223 in it right now.

Looks like a great truck. That is one odd looking rear hitch, never saw anything like that.

Thank you for your service and welcome!

Great looking start! And the good news is if someone bumps you from behind they wont damage the truck!

And I echo Walston's sentiments....Thank you for your service!

Thanks all!

Yea that rear bumper is beefy. I was about to take it off but I think I like it until I can get the fuel tank from behind the seat!

Truck looks nice. No one will tailgate you with that thing in the back. You just have to park pretty far from the stores as you may block traffic!

Nice truck, Welcome.

So right off the bat, im interested in that steering column setup, are there any part numbers you can pull from that? Or any other available details, it looks great!

Good looking start too a project! Like the others have said I like the column and steering wheel. Makes me think the steering box was changed? What are your plans?
