Ace Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Well to make a long story short. My uncle passed away last year, and i bought one of the most loved things he left behind. His truck. He bought it with 2 miles on it. He has everything documented by date and year since 1990. Every oil change, wiper blades, brakes etc. Before his passing some damage was done to the truck and he never got to fix it. There is also some rusted spots that got extremely bad from sitting out in the elements for the past amount of months. It is now officially my truck. I will make a list in the next post showing what will be done to it. My goal is for the truck to be ready to go to college with me in 6 months. I am not sure if this is possible but i will soon find out. I will be doing ALL work myself except final paint and fixing the rusted rockers and cab corners. I am currently looking for a very good paint and body guy in the indiana area or states surrounding (within 2 hours). Any one who has connections for parts etc let me know ON TO THE PICS as it sits now: aim is jblackwell64www.jbcarworks.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
