Looks like they made a 73 morhped into a 88-94 front and rear. I appreciate the work he did but somethings shouldn't ever be done and he did it on this with the body swaps.

I've seen worse...much worse....wonder why he used old style cab with the rest newer. Just get it real muddy and no one will ever know.

For $13k you can have a one of a kind truck.....think I would still rather have my current ride...

I don't think it's too bad. The paint distracts you away from the 88+ step bed.

The front detail line matches up pretty nicely with the cab. The back looks a bit odd, though.

My question is why he put his engine in jail.

the reason the front lines up so well with the cab is because is a fiberglass conversion. i wouldnt have caged my engine but i like the shocks and such. the step bed seems to line up well at the bottom, not like that body style bed usually does, but it looks to be a fiberglass conversion as well. kinda the route i want to go, but i will definately do a few things different.

It look's like he's got dodge door mirror's on it.

Over all I think it look's good.

Prerunner1982 · 03-24-2004, 12:26 PM

it does appear that atleast the drivers side mirrior is dodge, its doesnt appear to be as thick at the passenger side. just like mine. i have had a dodge mirror on the driver side since i bought the truck.
