Well, I took a nice long break from the forum, I guess I better post some updates!!

Bought this back in April of last year as a new hunting rig. Had to rebuild the motor, got that done and she friggin purrs! New yoke, seals, u joints, brakes/cylinders,rear leaf springs, bushings, HD shackles that you can grease, fender flares, aluminum 1/4 panel and rocker panel covers, the entire back end was rewired and I installed LED taillights/blinkers/side markers, new gas tank which was a real chore due to faulty o rings. O rings on a round surface do but one thing, THEY ROLL OUT! I found some flat seals and that fixed the leak for good. Installed a roll over valve, new mudstar tires, entire body tub was coated with truck bed liner for easy cleaning, just finished a 105amp alternator conversion as the original 35amp would not charge the battery at slow speeds or the winch when it goes on.

Updates





Its been a fun project, just dealing with bad NEW parts has been a real thorn in the rear end, especially the new steering gear box. We went through 4 of them from NAPA before we said screw it and went and adjusted the thing ourself as the factory that rebuilds them couldnt figure out how to do it correctly. Also put a new updated steering shaft in. The old one was a little bent and rubbed down on the shock mount.

I'll get more pics later once shes clean up and the alternator conversion is finished. Waiting on a fuseable link to arrive in the mail.
