rebuilding the truck
well over the past 9 months i have been restoring my truck, i bought it a few years ago and living in michigan was not a good thing for her at all, i decided to completely tear her down and fix it up, new paint, all new body, redid the exhaust , new interior, pretty much everything i wanted to share it with everyone and show some pictures as it is getting to the end of the road and she is gonna be back to driving status here soon and i cant wait,

Salt is a killer. I'm about due to do that myself, gotta work on my body skills a bit first though. It is rewarding to see it come back nice though, I had a 98 1500 that was stolen and used to drive through garage doors and steal everything inside. When I got it back it was pretty beat up, but with a little elbow grease I got it back in good shape. Still kinda miss that truck, as I see it all over the place. Can tell by the rear quarter thats still in primer. Good job.
