Your wife and your Gladiator, both keepers. The truck is one of the nicer ones I've seen in quite awhile. "Three on the tree" = Fun, fun, fun!!:thumb::thumb:

I guess the watch my wife bought me for Father's Day looks a little small now. :cheesy:

Thanks! My Anniversary gift didnt even come close to hers! :naw:

Congrats bud, looks awesome and a big shout out to the miss.

Btw, a few colonel sanders in and your bro was coughing up pics and was so excited about it. Killed me to not be able to talk about it!

Thats awesome! I had no clue...she caught me completely off guard!

It is fun, but I have never shifted through such a wide and sloppy pattern

Amazing looking truck! Congrats!

Thanks!

Thanks again guys!

I am super excited to start restoring her. As I said before, the dash is the biggest issue needed addressed and here are some interior pics.

First mod was to make her legal and install seatbelts. This is the original seat and cover. The drivers side springs need replaced though.

Next up was replacing the dash cluster so you can actually read it. I'll have to tach on the original miles to make it accurate.

And I was amazed by the cab corners and door jams condition. They'll all need blasting and mild repair, but nothing serious.

And who doesn't like a gun rack?
