Some of the folks here remember a truck I bought for a beater for 600 dolors and ended up giving it to my oldest son in need.
We had our Christmas with the kids today so they could be at there other family for there Christmas and they sure surprised me with my old truck back , But with a quick two tone paint job they put on it for me.

The before and after pictures
Now I can keep Victoria in her nest and take the intake exhausts and head of
to be cleaned up and built up a bit and detail and prep for paint under the hood.:cheers:

Merry Christmas to me today.:cheers:

Been wondering where you've been today. We've been having fun and by what i see you have too. And it's a Mopar!!! Good on you buddy. Vic will be here any minute. See "HELP in Des Moines" in the gen discussion.
 
Thank you BigStrok3, It has been a big day here at home.
My youngest was surprised with his big Mallard duck I have been storing in the freezer for two year, So I had it mounted for him. He is the duck hunter of the family and he painted the truck with some help from his friends and older brother.

Anymore of those $600 beaters laying around down there Mike? I need a flatbed for my welding equipment if you happen to see anything in your tours. Nice truck for a beater. I may have a fiberglass camper shell that will fit it if ya need one. The price is right.
