dont look bad from a distance - he says chassis been welded! how good? would be nice to see it close up, also its a steel bed and a crew cab so the payload will be lower :!:

i would probably put a different bed on it, possibly a tilt and slide and welding is not much of a worry as ive got a decent welder and have rebuilt many a car the last was a jeep cherokee that need a whole new floor as the repairs that had been done before had rotted out.
