Coming up with a plan



When I got the truck up to Maryland, I did a lot of thinking, sketching, planning, and research on what I wanted her to become. These are the flaws that were readily apparent...

Unreliable electricsSprings rusted solidDiff oils seals shot
Rusted footwellsNo brake lightsBroken parking brake
Engine misfiresAncient brake linesOil/grease/dirt everywhere
No seatbeltsLeaks galorePaint is old and peeling

And that is just for starters...

Just a hint of the rust...


So, what do I have to do?
New parabolics and shocksNew U-bolts and bushingsSandblast and treat axles
Rebuild all the diff sealsReplace all the brake linesRebuild brake cylinder
Rebuild engineInstall new wiring harnessWeld in new footwells
Seal/treat/paint chassisSeal/treat/paint bulkheadPut it all back together

And once this is all completed, then I can begin some mods to make her safer and more driveable

And away we go!
