my buddy n i went in on these trucks to build on a budget.
we got both trucks for 500.the stock one ran.the other one had the motor and trans pulled but he gave us those also.it came with a brand new glass hood and new glass bedsides never mounted.

we built a custom leaf pack from both of the trucks.we got 11" total out of stock leafs and also it lifted the rear some so we didnt need to use the blocks that were on the previous lift.and got some fox resi shocks for 80 bucks and decided to build a shock hoop
