That’s awesome. You should just get that and forget the other truck.

Sure - if you're looking for a strictly fair (warm/ dry) weather vehicle.

Good point. I remember OP saying something about road salt, so probably not a good choice for a daily. Still super cool though. I wish I could have one like that

Long time since I've seen an L88 hood scoop.

Lol, yeah ,exactly what my eyes went too, then ",wait a second??, where's the rest of the truck??"

You check car-part.com? Plenty near me in the 3-350 range. Be even cheaper than that in a self serve yard.

Never even heard of it. Car-part..probably been on it and never realized but I'll edit + "I'll see" in a sec lol
Yeah, recognized the layout immediately, must have been on there with a different project, but thanks. Sent a few messages out about a complete roller , or added " rear half" in so many words to the suspension ads..couple yards I know pretty well..

Yeah. Would gave never remembered that size in a million years. So thank you brother. My jeep guy was over earlier, I think I'm gonna cut my bed off where I can't unbolt it , and get a GOOD view of what I need, chassis swap will prob mean. I gotta buy another driveable S10 (or 300k camry) for work as I see that project taking me a while! But we shall see said the blond man....in my case QUiTE literally...

And got a quote for rebuilding back of frane rails,full box, 1/4" plate , he was not feeling my "lowes has metal,I'll supply the duct tape?" Idea on the repair:

I DID manage to persuade the left rail QUITE a bit!...

And we didn't discuss body work or paint, as I'm pretty sure he knows how to " camo" fluently.. So bottom line, he Said " start around 2k, not more than 3k"...maybe I'm dumb but I was expecting a bit lower than "mot more than 3." I reckon if I was driving my old bimmer or something, itd make more sense to me. Just simply because you crack a taillight on that thing and the power seats go out....i just see 2 UNBOXED basically C Channel frane rails thT dont need to be factory in my application? I need 1: sone metal i can drill hokes in and mount the bumper, 2. Sone shackle mounts pretty accurately placed if possible, 3. Order those and shackles and leaf kits..., Maybe a bunper? I just dont see 3k, when i can get a nrand new shiny complete rail kit us 1400?? :::

Oh. I got to installing my head unit, those metra kits (2 different models,) fought me tooth, nsilgun, dewalt geat gun, WAGNER heat gun 4 quick clamps, a 4" drywall knife, an actual knife. A dremel, and a 2x4 fir stretching...to get this sucker to sit halfway right. Their quality is 100% NOT metras top priority..but kinda neat
