- Background/Plans
-
The truck was my family’s farm truck and it’s been pasted down to me and then one day to my son.
My goal is to see it sitting on 42s with about 12 lift and kicking around ideas for a a more powerful motor and stage 3 transmission kit or 4speed and a np205 double stick transfer case and one ton swap it and four link it.
Body I am going to widen the wheel wells a 3ins and make a bed thinking about making long step side bed for it with 6-8pt roll cage and a a winches front and rear. I am building it for personal off road fun and occasional road use and for local mud events for now
