another so. cal repu AKA ''LEGO''!!!
here is my repu project aka ''LEGO''.picked it up from a friend who had plans of restoreing it,but due to some personnal issues,had to let her go.its been fully body prepped ready for paint,but i'd rather invest on getting it running first.and not to mention to only have paid a whopping $1k w some extra misc goodies included!it is definetly a project,so plenty of updates to come!

I am really finding myself wanting one of these trucks...I also like the look of the early b series pickups like 78-84 model years and then do a rotary swap
