After a few thorough washes she cleaned up pretty nicely for her age.

This is where I began thinking about what to do with it so, the concept of making a heavy duty pickup came to mind. I remember a few years ago seeing the Dodge BFT concept truck stuck, so I would do something similar in an older version.

The plan is to put a Cummins 5.9 Diesel in backed with a 6 speed transmission, run some super single rears and some skinny 22.5's up front, and top off the back side with a fiberglass bed with contour lines similar to the cab.
