Default Rebuilding after wreck

Well decided to rebuild the truck instead of parting the truck out. Here are some pics.

Default tare down

And now the tare down. Bought a frame and cab for $900, the frame goes next week to be sand blasted and powered coated, then the cab goes and gets sand blasted and m114 put on the floor..The cab and frame comes from a Hurricane Katrina flooded truck.. So there is some minor rust..

Some ******* turned infront of me about 5 months ago. I know it's slot of work but when it's done I can say I built the truck from the ground up. Something I have always wanted to do.

I think it'll be worth it. Are you gonna add anything to it since youre rebuilding it?

Great project. Holty did something similar a few months back. A lot of work but worth it. Few years down the road I'll be doing the same if I keep the truck. Detail everything and a color change.
