The story

I have sold this truck. No more updates will be provided.

I purchased this vehicle at a local police auction in 2000. It was used as a "Traffic Safety" unit in the early 90's with the local police department. It was last used as an undercover narcotics enforcement unit until it was retired from regular service and sold at auction.

I have been doing a slow restore on it over the last 4 years.
Things that I have done so far...
New rebuilt 351W engine (2002)
Rebuilt transmission (2003)
Replace all drive-line seals and inspect all gears (2003 / 2004)
6" Rough Country Suspention Lift (12 - 200

Things that are on the list to be done...
All body work and repaint (starting in 2009)
Replace Frame (Starting 2009)
Interior restore (Starting 2009)

I will try to keep up with photos as the work continues. — Shadow-D
