the one you posted is NOT the same truck.
chris truck (now mine) has a removeable top. ill end up having to do some more body work and the drivetrain really needs to be redone. so im redoing it.
my personal opinion is that i would rather repower this truck, keep it original LOOKING and run it so people can see what older trucks were.
i think its a more fitting use to run the truck as i am, than to have it rusting into a heap of junk in "original" condition. i tried to buy a decent body and build that, but i wasnt about to buy a basket case for 7000, and have to put 7000 in body/cosmetic work alone to get it where i wanted.....
dont worry. other than a diesel engine, and 8lug rims, no one will be the wiser
