This is what it looked like when I pulled it out of the barn. Luckily, all of the air ride components are still functional. This is probably going to be a slow build process, but I figured I would start this up. My goals are #1 Get it re-wired and running good #2 Clean up all the suspension/frame #3 Replace the 20s w/ 22s and make it lay #4 Put all of the interior back together. Just sitting in the truck and airing it up to pull it out of the barn put a smile on my face. Man how I miss this stuff, and can't beleive how long I've neglected it.

Well, it was all painted, bagged, and wheels while I was in high school. Then I decided to tear out the interior the summer before I started college. I ran out of money, didn't have time to put it back together, and needed a reliable DD to drive to school. This truck got put on the backburner, and I somewhat gave up on it since it seemed I would never be able to finish it. I saw some pics of it the other day, and started lookin at old Street Trucks mags and stuff, and I got the inspiration back.

Truck is still super clean. It wont be hard to change up a few things and make it a totally different looking truck. Good luck on the build.

Yeah, it still has good potential. I may have to borrow or hire out some of your skills if you ever have some free time down the road lol.

Easy killa! lol, it will be back and better than it was before. Trust me.

Chris - he told me where to find some pics. That tire size looks alright to me. Now it's just time to save up the money.

Not much of an update, but I actually drove the truck back over to my parent's house. After crawling around underneath it changing the oil, noticed some bushings and parts need to be replaced. Also needs a lot of clean up/painting chassis wise. Now if someone had some 22's w/ 255/30R22 I could use for mock-up. lol...
