Its not really a build. It just sits there in the shop, gathering dust.

If you want to learn about putting a Dmax in a half ton, this is the thread to read:

Make sure to start with a 4x4 chassis unless you like a lot of cutting and welding.

Member "meshanic" owns that truck now, so if you have any questions he'd be the guy to ask.

I was going to sell it all. Even told the rest of the Staff I was getting out. But I just cant bring myself to do it. Quitting sucks.
So, Im going to take a little of the inheritance money from my Mom and try to finish it.

2020 CompD Reunion GTG is June 5th/6th in Xenia, OH. It'll be like the old Garage "Smokin in the Smokies" GTGs. Going to try my best to make it.

Let's start over, shall we?
Literally got everything frame/axles related, plus a halfway decent cab, for $250. Frame is in as good a shape as the 2wd I have. Just surface rust for the most part. The typical rusted thru X-members above the gas tank...which Im replacing anyway.
