Re: 4x4 48'
your version of rough and a rustbelt version of rough is different, we'd kill to have your version of rough here
 your truck would be advertised on craigslist as rust free, pristine survivor. well, except for that seat... outside lift in longmont? you my dear man are one tough SOB my brother lives ne of longmont. longmont address.

Re: 4x4 48'
Yes it's been a while and I can't say I've done a lot since my last post. At least I have something to show to prove that I'm still making progress. She looked pretty ruff when I started with all the scratches and cracks but she looks great after a fresh paint job.

Re: 4x4 48'
The wheel looks good. Looking forward to more progress pics.
Will you have to move the engine at all for this swap? Don't see many 4x4's done, pretty interesting.

Re: 4x4 48'
Thanks. I'm trying to get as much done before it gets too cold so I plan on having some progress in the next couple of months. The engine that's on it isn't staying. It's only there because I have no place to put it and I only want to borrow a cherry pick once. My plan is to get a newer v8 similar to what bluejeep did (if anyone wants to trade
 ). The goal is to have a daily driver and winters get interesting so I thought why not when I came across the doner truck. The plan is to have it look like no other series 4x4 truck (not a fan of having them jacked in the air).

Re: 4x4 48'
Did you just move to Des Moines? Those older pictures don't look like Iowa.

Re: 4x4 48'
Well started working on my head liner again. It's looking good and I'm excited to get some storage (always need a place for your sun glasses)

Re: 4x4 48'
It's an American shifter. I didn't want to push a button every time I move the shifter that's why I went with this one.

Re: 4x4 48'
Thanks for the info. I just looked them up and that dual action shifter looks like a very nice unit.
