It's not totally done though, just have to put the mirrors back on and a couple of emblems. The rack body went into the scrap pile, it was pretty rotted underneath. I kinda tripped over the service body while I was at a local salvage yard getting parts for something else. I probably have more in the truck than it will ever be worth, but don't we all? The best part is I can write off the project through the business!

I did brakes, springs, shocks, built a killer rear bumper and hitch with a platform to stand on, led strobes, replaced a door, stainless wheel covers, paint, a windshield, 6 tires.

I'm thinking it's gonna be pretty heavy when it gets loaded with tools and stuff. Might have to turn it up a little.
