the frame is a 1987 3/4 ton put dana 60 in the front 14 bolt corprett in the rear
had to move the rear up 4" make body mounts after that was done painted the frame put the 454 motor together set that in and started on the body the body was in great shape painted the under side and fire wall and set it on the frame. there's a lot but i don't think you want to read a book so i will cut this short.
