There is a little story behind this truck, everyone gather round. This truck was given to me by my best friends wife, why you ask. Well, he was killed in a head on truck crash here in Nebraska and this truck was one of the many loves of his life. We used to keep each other awake at nights and talk about EVERYTHING. One of the things we used to talk about was making this pickup look awesome. Neither of us are rich so it never happened while he was alive. When I got this truck it was run down, literally. I've went completely through this truck from bumper to bumper and still more needs done. 4" in body lift, 33" inch shoes sittin on 5 spoke aluminum rims, seats from an 04 ranger, front end completely redone, rear end completely redone with new axles and all, minor motor work. There are still a few mods I have left, including a cai (before you all lose your minds, for looks), rear springs, a new paint job, and maybe someday a bigger motor. Tell me what you all think.....

Looks good! And keep the mods coming, I'm sure he loves looking down at it, and watching it get even nicer! And you should swap the motor out before you get the cai, so you don't waist money on buying one, and then swap out the motor. And is there any back story on the tonka toy sticker? I live down the road from the original tonka toy plant!!!
