Truckasaurus. The rebirth and resurrection of a fallen legend

Figure I should start a build over here as it is now 6.0L time. I picked up this 87 in 1994 the year I graduated high school. It was my pride and joy for years. Almost sold it a couple of times but could never bring myself to do it

Anyway fast forward through three kids, small business, wife and life and the truck started to look a little sorry. Wife said fix it or get rid of it.

I chose to fix it.

I decided long ago that this truck was something I wanted my kids to remember and with them being young still (3,6,9) it was time. I had a game plan and didn't want to really cut any corners so.....

That pretty much brings us to where I am now. I wanted to do this in two stages. Stage one would be axles, steering, interior, brakes, suspension and body protection

Stage two will be drivetrain, paint, electrical and dash.
