uni's done, here it is

Post by mercman64 »

I found this truck on the side of the road, on a trailer, with a locked up motor and bad rust issues in 2006. I had some great help, kudos to my wife Gena (helped me buy alot of parts on the internet), Jeff Walton (motor, tranny, rear, final assemby and lots of advice), Butch Dawson (helped me w/the donor cab and torque box), Jeep (tail gate..RIP Jeep) Ron Vito @ Champion (paint)...I wish I could take cool pictures like Cory....

Wow! Just Wow! Beautiful example of what appears to be a 100% original Uni.
Glad to see it finished after seeing it on the rotisserie and during construction. Gives me some good motivation in moving forward with mine.
