Yes, I am going to repaint the inverted V that was in it and make up some bumper numbers. I need to paint the tail gate and find some troop seats, install new batteries and a starter and it's done.
Thanks for the complements! I really like this truck.
I got the tires balanced and that killed the wobble, I drove 25 miles today and it did not happen once. I am still going to replace the shocks and steering dampener, just because
