dat budget ferd

[GR$$N$]

my buddy n i went in on these trucks to build on a budget.
we got both trucks for 500.the stock one ran.the other one had the motor and trans pulled but he gave us those also.it came with a brand new glass hood and new glass bedsides never mounted.

then we did the black wheel mod:bleh:

then i decided i was sick of looking at the parts truck in my driveway

we got 160 in scrap metal for it and saved the rear diff and front suspension off of it

then we got around to mounting the bedsides

and threw the lift on from the parts truck

we built a custom leaf pack from both of the trucks.we got 11" total out of stock leafs and also it lifted the rear some so we didnt need to use the blocks that were on the previous lift.and got some fox resi shocks for 80 bucks and decided to build a shock hoop

here it is just about done but i didnt build the lower mounts yet or finish bracing my glass mounts

picked up 5- 31x10.50s with wheels for 130.

gutted the interior.built the rear hoop and also got the sides done i just havnt mounted anything yet.

at of this point we were 750 total into it

cage is done

spare tire rack built

my buddy machined the collars out of 17-4 heat treated ss from a shaft from a missile which was pretty cool.

also got a pic of the front light bar.and i know the lights look off but they are all pointing diff directions.im going to aim them in the desert

have 800 together into this thing total.putting my c10 motor in it(built 350). trying to find a manual trans that will bolt up so we dont have to run the auto turbo 400 trans out of the c10.also picked up some 1500 chevy springs we're going to rebuild and get more travel out of


now i dont have any finished pics as my phone that had them took a shit or something happened i dk.im bringing it home this weekend though so ill snap a few pictures
