So while that ship was sinking fast, i spent alot of time on the drivetrain. Stuff i actualy new something about.

Stripped the frame to bare steel, primed it, coated in rustbullet, top coated in rustbullet blackshell and then painted it cast iron.

New crate 350, rebuilt the TH 350, re-sealed the np205.

DIY4x crossmember, new brake lines, Disked the 14bff

4" Tuff country EZ rides in the front, ORD flip with 6" shackles and 56" springs in the rear. Greasable bushings, new body mounts, fuel tank, etc....

So while the travesty that was unfolding with the body was done, i would be able to set a big turd on a nice piece of fine china.

Then the POS was put into place

Where it sat for a long long time.
