How much after the initial $1k did you spend to fix it up like that? 

Right now I'm at about 9K total.

I didn't realize how dark the picture came out. It looked a lot brighter on my phone. Here's a few more in the sunlight. I still have to finish painting the frame, install a stereo and I'm building a wiring harness to run the winch out of the back hitch plus a few other odds and ends.

That's like asking a girl how much she weighs 😆 🤣

I really like that truck. Did you build the engine yourself?  Tell you one thing you’ll never find that truck for 10k

When I got it the engine didn't run. The underhood wiring harness had been on fire and "repaired". After I straightened that out, I got it running and the engine was misfiring on multiple cylinders. I found two broken valve springs and four bad fuel injectors. After that I still needed to fix the exhaust manifolds, water pump, fuel pump and AC compressor. Now it runs like a top. It's a 6.0 LS. The trans is a 4L80E and other than a filter kit, new fluid and a 12 qt Mag Hytec pan, new cooler lines and cooler it was good to go.
