I Found The Problem With The Truck Not Running (A Bad Fuel Pump Relay) And The Truck Ran GREAT ! So I got it smogged and Then Registered and Started Ripping into The Truck !

Then I Took it To the Bodyshop, it took 1 Month and ALOT of patience, While it was in the Bodyshop I placed an order with LMC truck, I ordered Carpet, all new Weatherstriping and Door Seals.
