I hear that... I started with a running, wheeling truck and pulled the body off and sold the trans and cases. Just got finished with moving the engine back 7" and the new cab back 9" so I can redo the front suspension, winch mount and nose pick... Also built a hybrid trans hooked to a 231/300 set of cases. Why we do these things to ourselves I'll never understand.

just finished welding bungs into tubin looks like an exo with 18" fox air shocks and a rear 4 link isnt too far off in the future

[79chevy39.5's]

This truck will be getting brought back in may. Its currently in south Carolina but im taking 2 days off work and driving there in back just to get it may 8th.

Build plan is link the back. Hydrolic steering cage and just refine whats there

[79chevy39.5's]

after not doing anything with this truck for years other than tearing the axles out for a k5 build I finally touched this thing. more tear down I'm working a deal on a set of axles for it and prepping it for a back half cut.

[79chevy39.5's]

the day started looking off like this


and ended with the install of a dana 44 and 14 bolt



didn't realize the picture was so bad until now

[79chevy39.5's]

I plan on at least cutting the back half off and redoing it or just rolling the stuipid thing out of the garage so I can get to doing other things

[79chevy39.5's]

well doing things on the wagon and looked at the truck and not liking what the rear looks like I decided to do some work

[SPR]

Not much of a frame to start with.
