Back with a truck I'm scrapping...

Hey guys, I'm back from the Explorer forums to rejoin y'all. The thing is I don't have a truck I'm building. Well technically I am building a truck, but not a Mazda. Well its using a Mazda frame, and possibly the drivetrain.

Ok, I'll explain.

I started building a chopped VW. Being as I like to be different, I cut it into 2 pieces and decided to make it into a truck. But those have been done as 3 window cabs. So 5 window it is. So I've been gathering parts lately and the last big part I got was a 87 B2000 frame. It was attached to a complete 87 B2000 though.

Well the B2 came apart, the bed is getting scrapped as the bed floor and walls are junk because of rust, the cab, I think will be getting bodydropped 3" and sold, Engine and transmission, if I don't use it, will be sold as well.

Oh by the way, the bed that was on this truck was totally rusted out so I decided to do something with it. I think a few mini truckers will like this. Its a show seat to chill on.

whats the suports look like ? 4 legs right? cause it looks like only 2 .. i'd kinda be afraid it would fall with 1-2 people on it . Test it out yet?

Its 2 legs because its only 6" deep, and its moderately sturdy. I gotta fix it. I threw it together in 2 hours.
