Looking to possibly put together a wrenching weekend sometime in April. The goal is to get it ready for May It Forward. Still assessing and ordering parts and putting the priority plan together but some brake work, some electrical and some metal work are all a possibility. I thought I would get a feeler out as to availability. I have a grill and a smoker and I am not afraid to use them! :p

I will make sure there is plenty of cold beer in the garage fridge; steak and chicken on the grill and ribs on the smoker. Might even throw on a pot of my family's famous baked beans.

You might leave dirty but you won't leave hungry! ;D

Roger the diameter is huge. Not sure where it originated from, but this truck is really an old school 80's off road built truck. The guy was real creative. There is a hidden winch behind the stock rear bumper, it has storage under the hood for a spare front and rear driveshaft, misc straight brake lines for trail repair and an air pump that can be run off the motor with the application of a v-belt. Air tank under the pass floor board finishes out the trailside repair. 4 wheel disc brakes (part of the wrench weekend) from I do not know where, this guy was real creative. I am sure we will uncover more treasures when we tear into it.

Imagine if the roll bar was converted to an air tank!
