Got this thing finished, made a new exhaust to replace the straight pipes the truck came with, it's more like stock now. Finally sitting on all 4 original wheels and the spare is back where it belongs, the truck is driving great and ready for new adventures. Someone reached out to me on Facebook about it and so now it's going to go to a "new" home.
Sold this hog, went to a really good home with a Mighty Max Enthusiast. Got it running and driving pretty well and it really just didn't fit my fleet. Ever searching for that perfect combo of vehicles 🤣. I'll miss it.
