 Yeah, it's not too bad really. I was just bummed out because I was hoping that the truck was pretty close to being ready for the swap and all of the other mods. I found floor pans on rock auto for $30, the bed I can just cut out and re weld or get another bed. It's really not so bad as I make it out to be, just like I said I was bummed out. 

No, it didn't have a title but I have the guys name, number and address. I got a bill of sale that has the vin number, my name, his name, and the date. I got it for $250, which I think is fair considering he held it for me for 2 weeks. Next up on the list of things I need; welder and generator, with some power tools. Any suggestions on a welder generator setup? I was looking at harbor freights titanium mig/flux 140 welder and their predator 9000 generator. I figured for welding the sheet metal on the body it wouldnt have a problem. Also, maybe a roll cage in the future? Lol. We'll see. Basics first.


Today I wanna hook my trucks battery up to it to see if it'll crank or start. That'll be cool
