I bought this truck back in the summer of 2015 while I was still in high school. I was working full time cutting grass during the summer and part time during the school just to have enough money for insurance and pocket change.
By my senior year I had finally saved up enough money to put a pair of stick 18’ wheels from a 2016 Dodge 2500 on the ole truck. I joined the army shortly after graduating and left my truck sitting at home for around a year and a half and decided to buy a newer truck with was my uncles 02’ lb7 Duramax. Nothing to fancy just enough to get me from Fort Campbell to Alabama every time I wanted to come home but still something that could haul weight if I need be. So this Christmas I went and picked up a passenger door and fender since the previous owner had dented up the passenger side a good bit. I spent a day of my Christmas leave swapping the parts over. Then I found the front bumper from the Square D build and knew that I wanted that to be on my truck so I drove up and picked it up one weekend. Then this weekend I got a four day weekend and decided to come home and put her on the ole truck. But not before I had to cut the old bumper the previous owner had welded on there. After getting the bumper taken apart and trying to keep the winch plate in good shape my uncle cut 3 inches off each fender so the bumper would fit perfect. After all that was left was to put the bumper on and put the bolts in. And this is what it looks like now. The trucks not the best in the world and I still have a lot of work to do but this is what I’ve came up with so far. Still needs a lot of work but I do a little bit here and there when my wallet permits.
