Before and After

Was poking through some pics of my truck when I first got it (I had already wet sanded off the giant 396 painted on the front fenders and took off the swamp tires ) .
Compared to what it looks like now it is hard to believe its the same truck.
...and yes folks, they were turning it into a mudder when I rescued it.

Re: Before and After

Good Job saving it. I would hate to see that truck turned into a mud truck!

Reno, Rose really has come a long way. Nice work
I was lucky enough to go for a ride in Reno's truck(Rose) and I can tell you, she rides like a dream.

It was a long fleet when I found it. I tore it down and built it on a really nice short frame I bought.
