Lined up panels as the panel fitment on these trucks is a joke,so made the cab fit the doors.
Ford 9inch rear axle,i moved the rear shock mounts so i can get larger rear wheels on it.
Welded up the bonnet and got rid of badges and smoothed it.

I believe the term is "Bitchin' " 8-)
Have you forgotten that once we were brought here we were robbed of our names,robbed of our language,we lost our religion,our culture,our God? And many of us by the way we act,we even lost our minds.
