Ok, I knew the grey body was shot. I didn't realize the copper truck was 2wd. Cool. You probably mentioned it one of the other threads and I just didn't see it. It does look good.

Looks wayyyyyyyyy better !! Good for you. You know I have been kicking around the idea of finding a good body with nice paint and swaping just cause a paint job is going to cost so much but the body on my current truck is in too good of shape to do all that work.
1 thing on your truck Id do is figure a way to raise that front bumper since you did the body lift. Looks great though.

Wow! What a difference! Looks a million times better. It inspires me to get on with some of my own projects. As soon as it warms up a bit. And I have some time. And money. And.......Ah hell, I'm just plain jealous!
