Default my beater mini truck project

So I got a 1988 dodge ram50 (mitz mighty Max) 2wd 4cyl auto.
I plan on bagging it but for now just static drop body work and paint..
so far all I've done was tune the Carb and drop the rear removing the middle leaf and 3" drop blocks (about 5 inches) im waiting on 2" drop spindles for the front.

Few Plans I have for it
Mitsubishi grille & front bumper
Shaved doors & antenna
Flip the tail gate handle and shave that
Fix the dents and primer it
Clear/red tail light lens
New wheels, haven't really decided yet
Put in a bench seat (yes a bench seat lol)
Build a system for it and a few other things I can't think of.. so here is a couple pictures, this isn't as low as it is lol it was sitting on bump stops I have to get better pictures later.



I removed the bump stops and got another inch or so.. I still have 2 and a half until my frame meets the axle, I am going to cut the stops in half and put them back on..

This is my $400 beater truck fun as hell
Stay tuned lol more pictures later today

So awesome. I need one of these. Don't know why I never realized the d50 is the mighty max. Not a lot of them around but when they pop up they are always dirt cheap.
