haha well i work at a marina, but i scrounge alot to see what i can find, seams to be working out, and i just save my money for my truck because everything i make is just free spending because im only 16, and dont have to pay rent or anything yet, and the parents never put a dime into this thing and im proud of it! haha, thanks again

 

19 here in the same situation but I have been saving for various things like 2 vacations, a clutch and tires. Can't spend too much else where. Good job!

well just did some more work to the truck, i have some more pics here of it, so far im starting on body work, then this week i have my new borgenson steering shaft in, and then ill also fix my cowl cracks and clean up the motor while i have the hood and fenders off. the interiors back in, body lift is in, i have some 35 bfg muds comming here this week also got them really cheap $50, then bump the timing 1/8th and finish up the body while i wait for more cash flow. i have also got the new grill and taillight as well as i have fixed the king pin problem and my wheels are perfect now.

 

great job!! what a fortunate individual to have a cummins as a first car :-)

 

What I love about those pics is it shows how stout the frame is. Look how well the bed stays lined up with the cab. When you see pics of a Chevy ramped like that, the bed is usually about 3 inches out of whack from the frame twisting.

 

Great Job!

 

^^

Nice work man! I really like the way your rig is looking. I've decided to keep my trusty 1st gen, make it my project go fast/fixer upper truck and leave my 04 as it is.
