I shipped this over from the states and it arrived the week before Christmas.
Im restoring it the way i want it.I will be painting it black.Loads of new parts
to get for it including wheels,chrome grille,bumper,rear bed ect ect.

stripping it down

Totaly stripped.

Chassis boxed in

Cab bare metaled.Welded up unwanted drlled holes in bulk head and smoothed it off.

Lined up panels as the panel fitment on these trucks is a joke,so made the cab fit the doors.
Ford 9inch rear axle,i moved the rear shock mounts so i can get larger rear wheels on it.
Welded up the bonnet and got rid of badges and smoothed it.

Stripped down engine and box.
Chevy 5.7 350 4 bolt mains
turbo 400 box.
Trial fitted cab and panels as nothing fitted when
i started

Engine and box painted up and new bits bolted on.

I believe the term is "Bitchin' "

This is how it is now.
