Re: First Project Truck

Great looking project.If you want to drive it while you prep your new motor and tranny I suggest you clean it up a bit.Driving it will also help you determine the issues you want to deal with during the build.
I cleaned mine with an SOS pad and some water and made it much cleaner and more of a pleasure to drive.

Re: First Project Truck

I will probably drive it every once in a while but I have a take home vehicle with my job so I don't really drive my POV's much. I will probably yank the bed off and start on it that way I can drive it if I have to.

Thanks for all the suggestions. My end goal is to have a sleeper not sure if I'm gonna make it a swb or leave it long.
