I have owned this truck almost 4 years. It has not been used in 2 years. Parts have been used on other rigs.

The plan is to install narrower Toyota front and rear axles. Then remove the 3" body lift left over from its 2wd days. Lower it a few inches.in the front and.clear 33/35 tires.

I have a large pile of parts building up at the local Oreilly.

New brakes bearings seals steering. They have really gone the.extra mile for me.

I did manage to get some work done today. I was able to get 8 of the needed 16 bolts to pull my body lift off. So the cab is back down to where it should be. We also where able yo measure how the Toyota parts will fit. This should turn.out nice.

It's currently going more backward than forward. Got the leaky 241 out today. A friend needed the shift fork and rail for his 51 Willys. My 231/205 doubler should be a better set up.

For now the front will stay open. I will install a zip or arb locker this summer when I do the 4.8 v8 and 5speed.
