Crew Pictures

I would like to see some pictures of crew cabs or trucks in process.

85 2wd converted 4wd 91 w 2nd gen intercooler 47RH being painted Dark Garnet pear. Aftermarket Black and Gray seats to go in to it. It is a slow process and a money pit.

I thought I should give some pictures to go along with all the questions I have asked through out the years.

Thats what I'm going to do with my 85 crew cab. Convert it to 4wd with 3.07's and use a single wheel bed. I had all the conversion parts before I had the crew cab. Now all I need is the time.

This my dad's crew cab conversion. We dropped in the Cummins and converted from 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive. It still needs paint and some other finishing touches, but it's getting there.
