Re: Project USMC K20 4x4

Thanks guys! I have been working on my old boss's truck lately and trying to push him into getting this truck back inside before the poor truck is a pile of rust. I think I am going to remove the ford ZF 5 speed trans now as well. I have a NV4500 2wd I'm planning on switching to a 4wd trans. I will then use a NP205 from a dodge that I was going to use in my Longhorn truck. Then I can remove the body lift from the truck. I think that will look much better in the end.

Trevor, I agree about the blue too! It will also have a red stripe on the side. I'm not sure if it will be pin striped or a painted on bigger stripe. I know now that he chose these colors before he went into the Marines because he was proud of his descion. Shortly after getting out of boot camp I noticed his attitude was different. So I asked him what the deal was. He told me that everywhere you go off base, most everyone give them dirty looks, say some bs, or just general crappy gestures towards them. He told me he tries not to look like a Marine as much as he can when he is off base because he gets treated normal. I told him that was BS and he should hold his head high and ignore them. If they can't appreciate his service then they needed to get out of our country! So I would like to do something with the Corps emblem somewhere on the truck that way he can keep up the proud mentality like he should be able to anyway.
