Ha, we are far from it. A fair amount of kids my age spend their money on drinking and smoking and parties. I don't drink, smoke, party, or do drugs. And a lot of kids also spend their time and money on sports. This is just what I happened to fall into and it has become my passion. Almost all the money in the truck has come from me saving up. I've spent the last 4 years working all summer to be able to afford the stuff we put into it. A lot of the parts on this truck we have gotten amazing deals on as well as just swapping what we have for what we need. My dad and I are always driving backroads looking for that one truck someone forgot about and we are always on craigslist. We will spend months looking for that right part at th right price.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-20-2009, 03:33 PM

Where did you get that rear cover for your 205? It is looking sweet!

**Captainfab** · 11-21-2009, 01:34 AM

Same concept. I didn't like their axle truss approach or how they attached the upper end though. I think ours is cleaner.

oklahomaduner · 11-29-2009, 11:45 PM

Alright guys now we are back on track... My dad got a killer deal on a warn 12000 lbs winch that is a few years old. It was hardly used and it had a little rust inside it but we tore it down cleaned it up and put her back together and she moves perfectly.

We played around with the winch and managed to get it to fit nicely between the frame rails with a little trimming

We debated many different ways to mount the winch while keeping the stock body/spring mount setup but came to the conclusion that it would be best to torch everything off and start fron scratch.

With a clean slate to start from we cut out a base plate to mount the winch to

After that we made the front plate and added some holes. We also had to clearance the faceplate a little for the clutch lever. I painted the fairlead and polished the rollers

oklahomaduner · 11-29-2009, 11:59 PM

we added a few gussets on the inside, side plates, and the spring hangers which we moved back a 1/2 inch and down a 1/2 inch to help the shackle angle

i played arond with some cardboard and we decided to add these gussets to the spring hangers and welded it all up. The next step is to add body mounts to the top of the spring hangers

Dinos63 · 11-30-2009, 12:02 AM

holly shhh that truck is bad nice work

oklahomaduner · 11-30-2009, 12:09 AM

We finally got a new cab with good floors to use as the front part of the extended cab and we'll use the back of the original one to add on as the extension. We also picked up a 60-63 chevy dash to play with.

oklahomaduner · 11-30-2009, 12:29 AM

And here she is with the front back on

*highperf4x4* · 11-30-2009, 12:55 AM

That is flippin wicked!!

**Captainfab** · 11-30-2009, 02:39 AM

Nice fab work.....keep it up. Do you have plans to build a bumper of some sort off of that?

Thanks and yea we have a couple different ideas we are throwing around. Im leaning toward a prerunner style bumper but we may go with a closer to stock bumper

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-30-2009, 04:29 PM

Very nice! I'd say to a closer to stock style bumper modified a little bit. Those pre runner bumpers can make a truck look pretty ugly IMO. Great work!

drasticwagon · 12-01-2009, 09:17 AM

Sweet Build.
