Vehicle Story: I pruchased the truck in 1999 and completed the "frame off" rebuild in 2002. I did all of the work myself except the bench seat upholstry, windshield installation and engine machine work. All mechanical parts have either been rebuilt or replaced. Major rust has been cut-out and repaired (floor pans, cab mounts, etc). All body parts were sand blasted and primed with 2 part epoxy primer and top coated with Dupont Cenatri acrylic enamal. The truck was built to be a daily driver and working truck. My goal was to maintain the stock look and sound but have a hiway safe truck. I have $12,000 invested. It drives and performs beautifully.
