i purchased this truck as my first vehicle at the age of 17, body had front end damage... first thing i did was have all the body work and paint done, followed by full tune up, then not too long a 6 inch lift kit, 35" tires, custom gauge cluster, leather seat covers, intake and exhaust. i drove the truck cross-country and did a ton of 'wheeling. added 3 inch body lift. pulled the old 302 v8 and swapped in a 351 with a HD built transmission. and curently working on a custom 4-link solid axle swap... all done while still in school
