All that diamond plate is covering up the prime rust areas!

The interior is bone stock and in average condition. I'm pretty sure anyone could do the lift for a couple thousand and a hundred bucks in rattle can paint.

Horrible.

Man, you guy's are rough. Though i love everyones opinions, they're humerous =)

From the looks of it, a lot work went into the truck. I appreciate peoples efforts, regardless of what they achieve. I've put thousands dollars and at least a thousand+ man hours into my rig and it sure as hell doesnt show!!!! But all the same.. I bet the guy who did all that loved doing it so on that note

Two thumbs up to that 1st gen cuz it's actually "pretty" well done. LoL

I agree with drew. It could be alot worse. What if it was one of those so called murdered out block lifted 2wd ford street queens that you see all the time?

What do these people smoke before listing there PRIDE AND JOY(wonder why they would put all that it to it just to turn around and sell it) for an outrageous amount of money? 3 maybe 4 grand tops think about all the gaskets that are gonna need replacing from sitting for YEARS and what about dry rot on the tires?

Sure he may have spent a lot of time and effort into building this truck but after sitting for years everything he put into is gonna most likely need to be replaced or at least reconditioned so you might as well just buy a cheap stock truck and build it yourself because I see this one being just that a build project with a fair start.

I like how he used what looks like multiple steel plates to lower the tranny cross-member instead of using shims on the axle. Are those louvers on the guage cluster?

What...the...what did he do to the headlights? Is he rolling around WW2 Britain, worried that the Nazis will see his headlights and bomb him?

And the airbrushing...now, I don't want to use the term "gay", since that would be an affront to nice gay people the world over.

Ah, to be delusional.
