I wouldn't go that far, kinda looks like a hack job in the back to me. Regardless its still a nice starter/project truck.

I agree..the C Notches are upside down..were gonna redo the back half of the frame I think..poor thing has been passed through a few hands

Im new, but I hope with help from friends, the ability to read (thank you public school system), and a high learning curve we can make it a beauty.

First thing to do is the basics: oil change, spark plugs, etc.
I have no clue when all of those small things were last done! :?
