Well i finally did it... purchased today and is now sitting in my driveway. I have a question... how hot should the engine bay be? and i think i may need a thermostat anyone know where to get one NAPA? and what the part number is?

Runs like a top no real rust just a couple spots inside over the rear tires. I can fix that with a piece of sheet and a little welding. Passenger door is dented i'm going to try to bang it out and the inner door panel is off... but i have it. So a few lil projects. other than that my truck is a blast.

Thanks all you guys for everything i'll def be in touch!

i know about the wheels i've only owned it for a day i'll get on it when i get home from work tonight probably with pics to follow. I grabbed a stock thermostat from autozone 7$ god i love how cheap these parts are. Also i need a tailgate crank. mine crumbled in my hands last night... LMT has one for 40$ new. i'd like a used one. i'm so glad i'm just just a lurker on these boards anymore lol
