A old friend
 

Well i went out for a drive and I saw a truck on the side of the road for sale, pulled over to look at it and turns out it was my first truck. (dents and custom changed matched) I bought it back today and decided i'm going to fix it up nice and spend the extra money to make it how i want, but first to get the major problems fixed.

Needs to get a rebuild done to the tranny, fuel pump replaced, needs a seat put in.

What i want to do, add 3/4 ton springs, new tires, new paint, cab corners/ rockers, flowmaster 10 series muffler, with 3 inch stacks, and put a flat deck on

I was wondering if anyone had experience putting deck on a truck that had a fleetside box on it before and what needs to be done to mount it on

Fist picture is what my truck looks like now and second is somewhat what i want it to look like when i'm done

Maybe its just me but i dont think you should put stacks on a gas truck. IMO thats one of the stupidest things but to each his own that jmo.

cool deal not very often do you run across your first truck
im still thinkin someday ill run across my first truck i sold to a guy 3 towns over
if so i may jsutbuy it back and get parts from it

Congratulations on finding your first truck

well, i got myself a parts truck to get the main things i need, just have the tranny left to pull out of it,

-Mean while my truck in being trailered home by a friend, hopefully have it up and going by the end of next week

not to piggy back here but i was drivin my dump truck the other day and i seen my very first truck i ever baught and sold it still looked the same the only differnt thing wsa the hood
still had all the rust and dents
but i guess the guy got it running good cause he was drivin it down a hill

Stacks on a gas truck... although not common, i do recall this one truck. Back in the late '70s early '80s.... you might have heard of it.... Dodge's 'lil' red express. ☺
