And thus, it begins.
A couple of days ago my sons and i started on cleaning up our hand me down truck. We took the bed off (6 bolts and 1 wire harness plug, no big deal) to make the shackle flip easier. We used a wire brush to clean the frame up and
sprayed it as a rust inhibiter. Didn't really [I]choose[I] red. It's just all we had.
I also went to the Junkyark today and scored these:
So now I can fix this:
We have also finished the 60/40 to 40/40 seat mod except for sme stitch work:
I know it's just an old turd of a truck, but we have fun hangin out together.
Truck ..... A Hand-Me-Down.
Door and Fender ....... $95.00
Getting to work on your Grandfathers last truck with his great-grand children.......... Priceless!

Update part 2!!!!
Well we got the 2/3 lower (shackle flip and coil cut) done. But i think i wanna go another inch in the back.
Before:
After:
It was actually about 2.5 to 3 hours of work, but my two boys and I successfully drug it out to two days. Pluss it was about 9000 degrees out there. Florida, go figure. I got a buddy who runns a local paint and body shop who's gonna hook me up with some yellow paint and his shop to spray it. Thanks to all those who helped me with tech stuff, i really preshate it.

The yellow is from my first over the road truck. A 2002 Mack Vision. It was yellow and all my leters were a really heavy sorta green and the two colors look really good together. So thats why we're leaning toward a yellow with green collor scheme.

All the posts i read referred to it as a "2/3 lower level mod" or something to that affect. Mine came down right at 3 inches. But i'm thinking i want to go at least 1 more inch and ill probably just get a block for that.
