Now for some pictures. These first ones are from the day we got the truck.
In the begining this truck started out as a frame, some wheels and some body parts. My father in law, a neighbor and I picked it up in Prescott Valley and towed it to my Father in laws.
We built the drive train there. Then in 2007 I took the truck home to my garage.
I got tired of the all gray primer look and decided to play with a few cans of spray paint.
Here is a picture of the truck with my other truck.
