The things we do for our trucks! I have been spying this other truck for almost 2 years now trying to get the previous owner to sell me the tailgate! Well I couldn't get just the tailgate so I just bought the entire truck

Got it home and switched them out and decided I better get back to work on "Picacho"!

Headed out this afternoon to work on the interior for a bit. I hope to have this thing on the road in a week or two max!!! Riiiiiiiiight!

Here's a few pics of the donor truck, tailgate and what is going on in the cab!

Thanks Rob - If I had more time and money I would chop it and put it on the ground - I could use the long bed for my son's truck. But since I have to many projects I will probably just clean her up a bit and send her down the road.

Well I have been getting a little done - so I thought I would get an update out!

Was able to wrap up the e-brake, with a new cable and clean up the rear brake area (cable & brake line).

Once I got the brake stuff done - I started to work on the cab a bit.

I went ahead and got a new instrument bezel, as I wanted the chrome trim and the stock one was the grey color. While I was at the store (Impala Bob's) I figured I should get the lens too - glad I did.
