So, over 2 years ago I got the wise idea I wanted to bob my M35. I pull the bed and discover A LOT of rust on the frame, it was less than 1/8" thick where the factory rear suspension was riveted on. Upon further inspection, my parts trucks frame was in great shape. This turned into a full on nut and bolt restoration and some modifying along the way. I feel in love with the lifted bobbed trucks on 1600's so that's the direction I wanted to go.

Mounted a Chevy power steering pump for the full hydro steering.

Then I slowly started installing parts after they where cleaned up and rust free
