Here is the most recent picture:

  
 

Truck was stripped and damaged and missing the gas tank, so I had to tow home. But has most of the drivetrain, most of the lights are missing or smashed. Since the truck is designed and built in USA parts are easy to find new. Lots of grill, hood, fender, light and tail light options.

  Finally in the garage for the tear down.

Removing the front damaged parts
dent

Came apart quite well. No frame damage.
ready to start

I removed everything from inner fenders. Both need replacing.
inners

  Made a temp battery mount so I could do a compression test.

Time to remove engine to work on inner fenders.
vg30e

 Picked up a front clip, hood, fenders, tailgate and better rear bumper from a 92 Donor truck. All USA steel. The left front and hood was not original.

Picked up some Armada 18" wheels. These are also found on the Titan truck. Now I have modern badging on the sides covered.

I had to ream the back of the rims for the front hubs.
