New to this forum. Pulled the old girl out of the garage today thought you guys might enjoy it as much as I do! Finished repairing the roof last fall and really haven't had a chance to enjoy it.

Haha no worries. It actually has one (hidden by the mudflap), I had intentionally turned it down like that due to where I was storing it before and didn't want it holding water/snow ect due to the odd angle is was parked on.

On a side note I've been getting a message when I tried posting a reply before stating it needed to be reviewed by a moderator, but the post never surfaced.

Appreciate the warm welcome everyone! Since my other post never saw the light I thought Id try again. I had picked the truck up as a project with the 82 crew cab swapped onto a 93 dodge w250 frame already completed but the cab was a mess, a previous owner had filled the roof with spray foam that sure helped expedite the rusting. When I purchased the truck it came with a spare cab with a decently solid roof but the floors and rockers were shot. I spent the past 2 years or so drilling spot welds and replacing all the rot and damage the spray foam caused.

Ask and you shall receive!

Welcome to DTR.
