my old new truck

Back in the summer of 2011 I bought my wife the truck of her dreams. It has been our family work horse since day one. but late last year we started thinking it was time to sell it and buy her a new one. The clear coat was peeling all over and the white paint was peeling on almost every panel. Well after searching for a replacement truck and being shocked at the prices that we would have to pay for a v8 4x4 half ton with posi, all the proper skid plates and would pull 9k+ all day without loosing its breath.
I decided to just fix the old one. So I bought the stuff to repaint myself and sanded and prepped my heart out, replaced all the door seals and any other worn items including some worn bushings. Now here it is all done and ready to keep her happy for a few more years and look good while doing it. Total cost of all the tools and parts was just under 2500 bucks. I did all the labor.
