Default Rescued from a Farm project

Hi All,

This is my first post here, and I figured I would start off in the show and tell string.

I rescued this truck from a farm where it sat for a couple years and didn't run. It came home on a trailer. I got the truck, a rust free box, a set of doors, and a couple other body parts all for free.

Truck came home as a white rusty 6.9 Diesel, no turbo, 4 spd manual, aftermarket hubs, and tires which have seen far too much weather for their own good.

Here is a picture of it shortly after if came home...

Looks pretty good! I wouldn't worry about changing out the front clip like DC said, unless you want the newer nose or you are worried about having square wheel wells up front and round ones in back.

Hi All,

Thanks for the comments! I'm not too worried about the two different wheel wells, its been this way for over a year now and I don't even notice it. Maybe one day I'll fix it.

I actually like the 86 front better than the 87 and up
