Shouldn't be too hard to restore that one.
That's a great looking truck.
What's the scoop? Is it new to you,
or you've had this one a while already?

it is sweet and thank you Zach. How much did you drop this one? the stance looks awesome. I think it would look really cool on my long bed Chevy. It was my grandfathers truck so that's why I'm keeping it.
