Well im actually deployed at the moment and havent been around this truck at all really, my father and i have allways bought deals off craigslist from fatcat dirt bikes to 1973 chevy vega's, we allways have our eye out for a deal and this one came up for sale up in Nor-cal, this hillbilly owned it and like 3 others, he wasnt even sure what year of ones he had, so since i had sold my d250 and i had some cash my pops went up north to grab it for me. well we bought it and man the wiring was a hell hole and just a hillbilly truck in the worst of ways, including a bed that was ment for a 1 ton......so eventually my pops and his buddys wanted to surprise me and instead of me have to pay for a custom bed they thought they would make me one, now being that my dads long day begins at a aerospace company and ends at his buddys custom harley shop helped out allot, they cut and sectioned the bed i had, the small headache rack was fabbed by them allong with the huge rear bumper or steel wall you would call it.......its all 3/4'' steel. she is a great truck and i love her......but pics are all i get for about 10 more months deployments cause you to really appreciate your diesels...........but to answer your question my father, his friend and about a rack of bud lights a night built this o and i got a new lift put on her......enjoy!!!!!!!!

I'm looking down the barrel of what we in the Air Force call a 'deployment' but what the Army guys call a 'vacation' so i'll be headin for the sun and sand at the end of April too
