when I got this truck it was a mess, it had a blue rusted out paint job on it and a piece of diamond plate covering the rotted out wood in the bed, so in two years with a lot of learning, i restored this beauty back to a respectable status.

The interior has all been redone, replacing the old bench seat is a bucket bench out of a 90s full size dodge, it has a sound stereo in it. The body was fairly straight but we did some body work, not much bondo on it, just a few hole tacks to fill them in, a custom paint job with some diamond plate accents on it. the bed it oak with the bed liker being the rail color. The back bumer came off of a 1989 chevy and was cut to fit. The tail gate has the original chains on it. but it has a luvered cover on it with lights inside so they glow at night. And the best feature of all the grille my dad made for me has my name cut into diamond plate and there are lights behind the grille so that at night the name sam glows green...

350, i have the pictures of the engine that i blew up right after if first came out of the shop, and the pictures of the new one up on a thread, i think is called beginning engine. so yep. I think that the blue was a really popular color for those years of trucks..
