Nice Patrick. A familiar platform for you to work with. Any big plans in the future for it?

gotta start off with some maintenance, then prolly a few mods. Im either going to go really crazy with this thing, or just drive it with a few mods. If im gonna go crazy with it i need to get another car to drive while i tear this one up.

I think the original Patman grill is a treasure, and i can't risk it being ruined and loose another memory of my old truck. Besides ive got another grill in the works already

So did you get the suspension off the old truck? Or are you going to start with a new suspension? Truck looks good. Love the red. The silver was hard to beat, though.

I completely understand.

I guess that's why I can't get rid of my first car. It's a beater now, but I can fix it up. A little here and a little there and it will be worthy. Besides my son wants to drive it.
