Building Buddy's Big Yellow Truck
So I've had a ton of people comment on my Avatar pic of my yellow truck. I built the truck back in 03/04 and had a scrap book of pics so I just took digital pics of the build pics in the book... They are somewhat in order... Back story is I traded a carb for the truck with no motor trans. It is 3/4 4x4 78 chev. As usual most of the body was rusty. I grabbed as many used parts as I could and ended up with a 6" suspension lift, 3" body lift to start with. Rattle canned it white and put some worn out 39.5 on it and USED it! Then a terrible day came.... 9/11/01. On 9/12/01 I walked out in the front yard and painted a huge flag on the truck. I drove it like that until the week before Christmas of 03. I took the two weeks off of Christmas and New Years. Pulled the truck in the garage that friday after work and got to work. I drove the truck back to work when I went back to work the Monday after New Years. I could have NEVER done it without my friends help. Two weeks of endless work.... Hope you guys enjoy the pics. Any questions just ask!

Re: Building Buddy's Big Yellow Truck
A few more tidbits... Crate 350, now has th350 after broke bellhousing off th400, np203. FF14 in rear with 4:10 gears, Dana 10 bolt in front. Lockers front and rear. The new body came off an 85 C10. Line X in the bed, powdercoated wheels with a new set of Boggers. Full interior from the 85 as well. The guy I got the truck from originally offered me 7K and his 77 K20 when he saw it but I turned him down obviously. He was sick when I told him I built the whole thing for less than 2K after selling the old parts and trading stuff for things I needed. He still calls and stops in once in awhile and always asks about it... I'd take the money in a heartbeat now but the offer is off the table.LOL. She's mostly a freeway flier now and the Jeep gets beat.
