(Picture was taken at time of test drive) This rig had no front driveline, no battery, fuel pump problems, and a bed FULL of garbage, it was thought to have engine problems, and a bad tranny/t-case. At first look it was a straight old chevy, but the inside was rough. I gave my opinion on the truck and thats all it took to persuade Jason to buy a battery and give it a shot. After the battery was installed and the leaky fuel lines fixed, it fired right up, surprising the owner. Down the road we went on a test drive. Soon it was apparent that what was thought to be a bad drivetrain was nothing but a worn out u-joint. The truck was immediately paid for, $800 cash.

The next day a spare 4" lift was installed, to go along with the already existing 3" body. Some 35" swamper boggers were applied, a front driveline bolted on that came from a heap of spare chevy parts, new ujoint, and we were wheelin'.
