Project I'm cheap as Hell

[booblinker]

I am hoping to have her on leveled on 31x10.50r15 Mud Terrains for under $1200.
This is the start, I paid $400 for it, 4x4 3.0 5 speed manual

The reason I got it so cheap, it needs a bed.

The bed I got for $150, the wrecked bed is missing 4 bolts, and the other 2 are loose, so the bed swap should be super easy.

Hoping to sell the cap for $50-75, scrap the old bed for $50, Red roll on bed liner to paint the body $170.
Truck- $400
Bed- $150
Tires- $300
"Paint"- $170
Leveling prings $110
Recon Battery $20
Manual locking hubs $110
Topper- $50
Bed Scrap $50
Sell the tire/rims $100
That puts me at about $1,060
So I should have a driver for under $1200 as long as I don't run into more than $140 in other stuff.

You got a pretty good deal on that, even including the damage. Looking forward to the final product

Then paint her, SAS her, bigger engine, etc.....that will happen. We all say on here that we arent going to go extreme on stuff but those words never last.

TRue that.
i just wanted to fix some bugs on mine.
now i lifted it twice, got 31s, regeared, made a rollbar, got a brushguard, and now im cllecting parts for a SAS/4WD conversion.

Went to spray down the bed bolts so it would be easier to pull off Saturday, 4 bolts were already out and 2 were already loose, this bed swap should be super easy.

Sold the Topper for $60, so the build cost is at $490 right now. Here is a pic without the topper, even with the smashed bed it still looks way better without the topper, hope to have the new bed on tmw afternoon.

Yea thats my new baby I picked up last month, 69 Highboy, can't wait to get her out on the street.

Bed is on, just need to get it bolted Down this weekend and put a new starter in.

I bought some new 31x10.50r15 Federal Couragias for it today, a rough country leveling kit and extended shocks.

Got the tires and a new starter put on today, tires look good, it will look better once I level it this weekend.
