Been doing lots of work on my 1974 lately. Have owned her since 1983 and done various things over the years, but most progress stalled after putting an all-glass body on around 15 years ago.
Well, she is back in the shop and here's what done so far:
1 - Weld/replace rear portion of frame where it was rusted out.
2 - New 2 1/2 TB rear 11 pack leafs and new 2 1/2 front colis.
3 - New shocks.
4 - New door inserts thanks to Revelation for selling and shipping for very reasonable cost.
5 - All new lights and markers to be installed soon.
6 - Frame wire brushed, inspected and repainted.
7 - New gas tank.
8 - Replace all body mounts and bushings.
9 - Rebuilt third member and add detroit locker
Still do do:
1 - Roll-on bedliner for interior tube and floors. -- DONE
2 - Will finally get an actual paint job after 15 years of bare fiberglass! -- DONE
3 - New tires and rims.
4 - Will add a winch.
5 - Fix/replace loose steering. -- DONE
6 - Fancy up dash and add stereo.
7 - Add new buckets seats. -- DONE
