I got them cleaned up a little bit. They look the best when viewed in windows photo gallery if you have xp or vista. The pictures are to large to post here so if you want i can email them or maybe one of the smart fellers here can figure out a way to post them up so they are on the site. I have them in individual pics and also all of them are in a compressed file.

thanks man, ill send you my email address. thanks so much for the help. were planning a winter (hopefully snow) run in the beginning part of december if you wanna go.

Hopefully ill have my truck lifted by then that would be cool. Right now i cant do to much wheelin every time the front flexes i chew up the tires that are way to big for a truck with no lift even with cut fenders.

i have a set of brand new 3" add-a-leafs for front and rear that im not going to use anymore. going a different route with mine. if your interested i can make you a good deal.

Yeah i was thinking of going that way but it already rides like crap. I should have the rest of the funds togther in the next month and half. I figured it all up so that i can go everything that i want to do at once including the lock right locker for the rear until i can get front d 60 to match the 14bff that i already have waiting. Im gonna do a shackle flip with 4in tuff country springs in the front and extended front shackles, all greasable bushings with 9/16 bolts, braided stainless brake lines, steering box brace, and hopefully ill have enough left to put some headers and a new intake on. I think i figured it at just over 2 grand plus tires.

Cool Step-side i have always loved the look of step side on about 35's. I also like the trailer idea.

ok i got some progress done finally.







oh by the way, does anyone need a stock bumper in good shape with the rubber strip still on it?

[smalltowncowboy]

finally got off my a$$ and checked the casting numbers for the heads, cant get to the block casting numbers till i pull the engine since the fire wall is almost touching the back of the heads.

1973-1984 big block 454, 255/119 cc ports

well the bellevue winch wont work how i wanted to use it but my dad is buying it off me for his jeep.

hopefully i can get up early enough tomorrow and get atleast something done on my baby. need to get it going for a snow run in december.

i did some checking on my 44 housing and it doesnt look like its bent like the guy i bought it from thought it might. so now all i need to do is get my new R&P and get it installed.

well i got some progress done today, pulled the rear fenders off im going to bedline the inside of the fenders and the bedsides, a buddy dropped off two of my brackets for my 5 point harnesses these are some real beef, and gave me 50 bucks towards a motor im selling him.

picked up my marine dual battery selector switch and thats about it today.
