Build story
Started off as a nice used dealership truck a good friend bought from his uncle. He had it for several years and got a new one so we bought it from him. The box rusted out so it got the flat bed put on, replacement boxes are NOT cheap! The front bumper was wrecked from a deer so it got replaced with something sturdier, the rear bumper because the factory one rotted out so it got built to match the front. More altitude was needed for larger tires and since we couldn't find an actual lift kit for it we did some math then the spacers and coil overs got added. The horn quit working for some reason and we had a boat horn laying around, so boat horn. Tail lights are trailer ones because of the bed. Muffler delete because road salt and exhausts don't mix. Other little things on it have been zip screwed and zip tied back together along the way. This truck has been worked hard and a lot of miles put on it. It's hauled just about everything including just shy of a gross ton of metal. As you can see in the pictures its been bounced off of just about everything in two counties. Its been in the woods, swamps, ditches and pavement but its never left us stranded or failed to fire up. It's in rough shape and most people would have sent it to the scrap yard by now, but to many memories have been made in this truck for that.
