Well hows that for slow progress. Finally got my but in gear and pulled the cab off today. Might actually get the motor out next week. This truck is rough, the frame has a bunch of hole made by a cutting torch, notches cut out of 2 of the cross members, the rear cross member is almost pulled right in two and bunch of extra stuff welded onto the frame rails. So this has changed from a resto to a rebuild for offroad/mud truck. I hope I dont offend anyone by doing this but... theres not a whole lot of the original truck to work with. I'll post some pictures of the progress later this week.

Thanks, Rob

Default truck.

If there's not alot left of the original truck you could always use it for spares and buy yourself a second one.

I agree with Ryan but it is your truck and it is so hacked about that whatever you do you are not ruining a good original vehicle. Good luck with whatever you do
