Thanks for all the input and feedback

Well i had just bought it as you know. From what i do know about it right now is that it's a merc uhmm m1 or m2 if that makes sence.The chasis is an 81 gmc the cab was channeled to fit over the frame.motor and tranny are out of a 97 camaro fuel injected.Taking it to the shop today so will take a few more pics of it there.One person said it might look pretty sweet with duelies. Thanks Again ... i live in B,C Canada. truck price was 12K good price i thought for a daily driver.

Nice looking truck. I noticed you are from BC. Oh ya welcome to the site. You'll be able to get more help here than one might expect. Where in BC do you call home? Be sure to come and visit us in the BC Chapter for some chit chat. Better yet just click here in my sig and become a member of the chapter. Hope to see you there.

It looks pretty nice. I would drive it for a while and get to know what you like and don't like about it. Every vehicle has pros and cons. Secondly, I'd search out some Ford Truck enthusiasts, clubs and shows in your area. You'll find we are a friendly bunch as this forum will attest to. Check out what others have done and see if it appeals to you. It's also valuable to find out what others would never do again........ and why.

Most of all drive it and enjoy it. Welcome and good luck.

a few questions

How do i make a photo album as you were saying i just copied and pasted the one pic i tried more but it just kept replacing the one i placed before. And i am from chilliwack. I tried to join what you asked me to but i have no clue how, i clicked your name and got lost from there lol.

thanks all for being so nice here.As for interior most of it is still in boxes never been opened the truck windows back and front need resealing so till then i won't put it in yet till thats fixed or the cardboard panels will rot or warp.but will show what stage its in.
