I'd get a crick in my neck from whipping my head around if I saw that drive by.  Then I'd say "Florida Special" and be sadly mistaken.  She looks great

Super Nice Job G-Man ! So whats the total end tally of how much you have into it between purchase and restoration ? I bet its worth 15K because of the very low miles .      That truck is going to last you for many years .

That truck should be solid for years to come. Although I would have trashed all the old plastic moulding.

Are you concerned that the auto trans will eat up some needed horsepower when plowing ?

Bought it for 1000.  Put new tires, battery , and 4 wheel drive actuator in it for 1000.  Metal patch panels and moulding and vinyl were about 500.  And  about 120. in paint. Bed liner kit was about 200.

So all total 2700 or 2800 total not including my time of course.

What a deal ! But it all worked to your advantage because you are a talented guy doing it yourself. As the saying goes " It Just Dont Get Any Better Than That "
