I can't believe he sold that truck after taking 3 years to build it. I call dibbs if you ever sell it.

Thanks Ben that means alot coming from you . I still got alittle more to do to it . Right now I'm tring to get it running for a GTG on the 26th .



Yesterday I working on getting the frontend slop free . It needed new bushings in the shackles . They where loose as ,well you know what I'm saying . I also worked on the rear links . As the rearend had more swang than Sally from the Valley . If you get my point . My next project will be to get the rear shocks working better . I did a e-clip and pistion mod to the one on my K-5 Blazer and they work great .

This pic shows how bad the axle swang was .

This is after the work on the links .

I also stopped by the Junk Yard and found a good hood and cowl . The hood was from a red Yota the got hit hard in the rear . The green cowl was from a roll over . lol

After a few to many beers I got some primer on the window seal .

A few flex shoots after getting the front springs and rear links fixed .

I might need to shorten the rear abit .
