I recently inherited this lump, everything is functional, runs great, but it is really a hack job...

I was going to clean up the interior, cut the top, throw in some 'finder seats and just cruise it until it drops..

I'll have to "Rat Rod" the design, since the C notch looks almost dangerous...

Is this embarrassing to drive???

i've seen worse! atleast it has a 4 link and shocks. my yota was monoleafed with no shocks at all and i've been resurrecting it slowly.

i say fab up a back half, and cruise it till it dies!!!!

yeah, I think the biggest question is if it's SAFE to drive. And if not, how much of an investment would it take? Who cares how it looks ya know? There's always time for that.

sweet! looking at the new pics, the way the bed to cab gap is off. i'd say they cut the frame and installed the notch, then welded the rear of the frame back on.
