BigBopper805 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Hello everyone been reading a lot of build threads so finally decided to start my own. Let me make a long story short found a add on CL contacted owner wheeled and dealed and picked it up for cheeeep, his son drove it blew the motor no oil , parked it took it apart then bought a new motor and tranny , then left it alone for two years . Couple are going through a divorce mother didn't Want it I brought it home and my wife didn't want it so that's how the name came about. Truck is complete has great patina but where I live the fog is going to rust it bad so started by cleaning up the engine bay first,next i'll put the engine in and get it running,work on the brake upgrade , drive it and lower it ,then get it painted. Already bought wheels and tires try and post some pics. 2 Quote Link to comment
