    That rust looked worse with the paint on. You gonna paint it yourself? Hope you didn't use the duplicolor roll-on bedliner.

    most of it was just bondo cracking,whoever used to own it i think used alot of bondo to straighten out the bed, or had cut out the rust, filled it then bondoed the **** out of it, it was pretty thick but it wasnt rust, only real rust i found was along 1 or 2 seams and that surface rust on the bed, yeah ill probaly paint it myself, i have just a little bit of experience with paints, no it was rust-olium(sp?) warrior bed liner

    just kidding mario, yeah im gonna buy it from eric, ive been looking for a truck for a long time and this is in my price range and ive always wanted that exact truck, i know it needs work but im gonna make her pretty and run real good, get a new motor and lower it back a little if i have too, and im gonna buy chris scotties all terrains to help with that..... yes its wierd, ive crossed over to the dark side for jeep owners.... but yes like ryan said, this vehicle will be legal and more practical, now i can use my jeep for just off-road and take the yota when ever i feel like it also

    he'll take the yota when he wants to wheel hard AND pull chicks
    all the cool kids drive yotas anyway
    I thought you said it had a lot of Bondo?! That's all metal under there! Oh yeah, I have a small tub of it that might still be good.
    Bedliner looks bad ass. Do you know how long I've been carrying that stuff around?
    Where'd you put the springs and stuff that were in the back? I might redo Ugly's suspension on sunday. I'll be over to try and get Charlie running this afternoon...

    yeah ive idolized michael j fox since back to the future... now i get to be a cool kid too
    there is alot of bondo, but it was used to make it straight not fill in holes,
    and the springs i took to bryan iron and metal.... they gave me $5 for all of em

    paint might be a little down the road now....

    pulled the valve cover today and this is what i saw, and i broke my wrench trying to turn it over, i cleaned it up a bit, and it moves fine now... then i drained the oil and it was brown like it had water in it....

    think a 4.3 tbi would look good in this truck?? just need to get the adapter


    or something like this...
