hey jake can you send me the pic of the rusty floor so i can get a idea how bad it is....

Pics sent. I am willing to bet this truck would make it to TN if you drove it back. Wouldnt be very comfortable without floors and heat but it's reliable!

If I knew you needed floor pans I could have been bribed to cut some out of a truck and put them on the pallet with that engine. I crushed that truck yesterday :(

Yea I'm sure I will have no issues getting the panels I just REALLY dont want to rebuild the truck as a disco... The engine is running great by the way - I had to put my HD chevy fan clutch back on cause it wanted to run hot at first. Now it's running 180-195ish pretty consistantly. I think I have an exhaust leak on the driver side manifold though. Gonna wheel with it for the first time this weekend will let you know how it goes


I changed my mind, maybe I DO want to build a disco out of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PLwJaWkym8 or maybe a tray back defender 100" makes life a little easier

I always wanted a DI pick up truck, and I think that biatch it is the perfect candidate

Jake, cut the roof, weld the rear doors and go for it

I really like this one

Just need to figure out the rear part of the cab. Gonna do some measurements and see if any pick up cabs at the junk yard are anywhere close.

Then I just need to get my hands on a good welder..
