Look What I did this weekend!!!

Well My younger brother has had this 91 CTD that he got off a farmer that was not in the best shape. He has drove it two years now. Well He came across a 150 ram that was in good shape. So we swaped out the cab, hood, doors, bed this weekend to give him a good solid truck and still have not mutch $ in it it all went smooth and fired up on the first try. Just thought I would share some pics with u all. To see what u think or if u have thought about doing this I may beable to answer some Questions??? Thanks Justin

Yeah,Wasn't too crazy about how the exhaust exit turned out. That's kinda how the 4" kit we used came out.I just put a chrome extension on it at the time.
I went for the "old school" look with the white spokes,but i've got a set of chrome mods i might put on.It's kinda funny if you look at the picture of the truck's condition when i first bought it earlier in the thread and how it turned out...Now i won't even drive it in the winter...LOL....Thanks for the complements !!
