Trip down memory lane

Just got final paint done on my 8 year long project. About half way thru my build a buddy picked up a nice truck from florida for 10k. Drove it a while. Pulled the front sheetmetal, then sold it for like 5k. Guy who bought it put frontend back on and started driving again. I found out after the fact and it made me sick. He are some pics.

Re: Trip down memory lane

For those who checked out my build thread, you will know I pieced my truck together.
From the truck in before pic, I used the doors, grille panel, and bed (with new left bed side, header panel, and tailgate)
Cab is off a 72, frame from a 71, hood and fenders from LMC. Engine trans from 89 suburban.
