    Fresh paint makes that old thing look so damn clean. Very nice build.

    Excellent work on this rebuild. This truck looked like it was reaching it's demise! You've done a great job resurrecting it. Very clean work and great attention to detail. I'm looking forward to seeing how the interior comes out as well

    What happened to your pics? I was just checking in on your progress. I hope you're okay. Take care.

    Thanks for the concern guys, I am fine. I made the mistake of leaving my laptop unattended on a job site and someone thought it was funny to delete all the photos in my imgur account, along with those job related photos. I started clearing the posts afterwards as they did not make sense without photos

    That's not funny! Just a dick move. I hope that you don't abandon ship and not do a build thread. I really like this one, and even voted for it for build thread of the year.

    Yeah, not amused. I can probably quote most of from the other site. Funny thing that even though the pics were removed from the hosting site they still show on IH8MUD, not sure how that works

    Fired it up for the first time today with the v6 in it. No coolant and a lot of vacuum lines aren't hooked up yet so I didn't let it run long.

    Just about there with the bumper. Been using the 97 taco to fab it up but once finished will powder coat it and install on my 95.5
