69 Jimmy 2wd Conversion and body drop

Picked this beat up 69 Jimmy up over in Redding a few months ago, figured i'd show some progress pics along the way.

Re: 69 Jimmy 2wd Conversion and body drop

So this is about the point I'm currently at. 2wd conversion is all done, has a 79 c10 front crossmember, 350, 700r4, 12 bolt truck rear with Impala disc setup, 65 Mustang gas tank, Porterbuilt Cowl mounted gas assist hood hinges, new floor for the body drop. About to pull the body back off to button a few things up, then on to body work and some custom interior sheetmetal touches

Re: 69 Jimmy 2wd Conversion and body drop

Little progress on the Jimmy. Got the underside cleaned up and sprayed with bedliner, got the firewall cleaned up and painted, body back on the frame for the final time, and started the gauge panel on the new dash
