then i moved the body over this was a chore because the only help i had was my wife so she watched and made sure i didn't break anything while i pushed it over

i still need to get a short bed and shorten the frame but i took it on its first test drive today and it passed with flying colors now i need to get the registration witch is 400 and insurance and i will be driving like a mad man again

i am not going to shorten it all the way i want to put a roll cage and 5" exhaust but it will look good and all be functional

i recycled the old body steel for 150 and will sell all the misc. parts and i might come out ahead so this was cheaper than buying a new truck




sorry this is a knife forum so here is a knife with a snake

You don't plan to roll it again do you?

Or are you just being safe?



Nice work by the way :thumbup:

Reserected from the temporary dead
 
the 12 valve turbo cummins diesel is one of the best motors ever made i have 270,000 miles on it now and it has 2x the power than when i got it and will get more
 
Nice job!!
That's a lot of work!!
Congrats on the new old truck.......or wait the old new truck?
Whatever you know what I mean!!!
 
Great job all in all. Looking around, it looks like a few of your neighbors could probably utilize some of your mechanical skills too. :D;):p
 
WoW talk about a project :eek: It looks like you did a good job rolling it, and an even better job making it look like it never happened.

Nice knife too.
 
I bet you are going to miss the extra cab space from the original body with the extended cab.

Could you not find a extended cab body?

Tons of work, especially by your self. I junked my last truck just because the clutch went out, because I did not want to pay to have the clutch fixed (it had 160,000 k on it, little ranger), so that shows you how lazy I am. I actually did need more seats because the wife was pregnant with our second.......
 
Very impressive work :thumbup: I wish I had the talent and technical expertise to tackle those kind of projects.
