Re: Frankentruck
The paint on the carrier was still in great shape, so I painted everything else I added on black. The piece of angle iron that I cut off to make it fit between the frame rails ended up getting used as a spacer to keep the tire tight against the frame while still allowing the carrier to be accessed by the tool. I cut a slot in the bumper so that the tool could fit through, but when the license plate is on, the access point is hidden.
To reward the most recent modifications, I went to pick up a mini fridge for my dorm room. The last picture is from the night before I moved into the dorm as a freshman in college. I was sad because I couldn't drive the truck for awhile. I didn't trust the drive train yet to last the 2 and a half hour trip down mostly interstate.
