Before and After (pics)

Here is where I dug her out from back in April, the truck had been sitting here for over 9 years.

Here is what it looks like now, just got the new wheels and tires installed, ready to hit the road!

That is one awesome looking truck. I have always liked that body style since my dad bought one new in '86. That is one of the trucks I gnawed my teeth on. LOL Good job, you should be proud of yourself.

Thanks for the kind words, the milage I'm a little uncertain on, I think 141,000, could be 240,000 though. The truck came from Texas originally so it has never seen road salt. My brother bought it originally but he parked it in 2001 because he thought something major had failed on the engine, turns out when he swapped engines he didn't use loctite on the flywheel bolts. They had backed out and the flywheel started to flop around. So 9 years later and a new rear main seal, oil cooler o-rings, oil pan/valve cover gaskets, pilot bearing, clutch and a few other parts brings us to what you see now.
