Okay this is a bit of cheating and a bit of a story....and a lesson in geography.

It starts out with me at work oneday and happened upon this truck on craiglist and had to have it. Well I live near vancouver b.c and was working in northern Alberta and the truck, well it was in Madera California. So after a search on mapquest I called the guy and bought the truck and made plans to pick it up. Fly back to B.C at midnight, get up in the morning hook up the trailer and head south....a day to get there and the coils had been cut so low that I couldn't get it on my tilt trailer with out building a ramp to my ramp just to get it onto the trailer. a day back....paper work for customs both sides and a vechile inspection and whamo I have a truck. What I ended up with was a SBBW fleetside truck that had power steering and disc brakes and was in primer. Turns out as many of our stories do it wasn't quite the gem I thought it was. For the record it's not okay to fill the holes from hooks and trim in the box and body by using duct tape and filler. It does how ever scare the crap out of you when you hit the duct tape with a disc sander. All and all it worked out ...as you will see this wasn't my first rodeo and it won't be my last. So thats the start...and this first picture is it on my truck heading back home ( it is however very cool to be in 2 feet of snow and 24 hours later be passing palm trees with a truck on your trailer )
