Its a work in progress! We started off with a 78' 3/4 ton chassis that we bought for a 100 bucks. I came with a corporate 14 rear end and a 10 bolt front end. 350 turbo tranny and a 203 transfercase. We stated by cutting the frame and shortening it to a wheal base of about 107 inches.
Next we build a four link custom rear suspension with coils. The front end we used a ladder bar suspenion with coils.

The body is from a 1972 Chevy. We chopped the top to build roll cage and soft top. The soft top will be a canvas rebel flag.

We were still short a engine and a lot of parts. After many hours of searching we can across a 1990 Chevy Suburban at a dealership. My dad talked the guy down to $300. They couldn't get it started, but lucky for us it was just needed a new starter. We tosed one we had laying around in and she started right up. The Suburaban is in the background of this pic.
