M1008 RESTO Project

[hovenga67]

First a little back ground. I bought this truck from GSA for hauling and to redo later. Later has come now. Here is what I have done. 6.2 turboed, 3in down pipe to 4in exhaust. Marine injectors, new gaskets, hoses, etc. Truck had bsically no rust except small holes in the cab corners. Changed front clip, new box side, and fixed all dents. Let me know what you think.

Cab Painted

Truck all painted

Inside of the Cab. I bedlined it with tintable bedliner, did the roof and floor.

That is pretty much where I am at right now. Hoping to get it finished up in the next few weeks. Then it is going up for sale. I will miss her but a regular cab just isn't big enough. The next project is a duramax powered suburban with military bumpers and axles.
