Now looking for some 1" spacers for the front. The 1.5" spacer put the wheel caps 1/2" past the end of the hublock :(

It's headed over to Todd's shop in a couple of weeks for some up grades. ;) Hopefully it can weather out the rest of the winter there and be ready for test driving in late March or early April.

Nice.. Can't wait to see the upgrades man. ;)

"New" hard top put on last weekend. Test fit the new 15x7s with 31x10.50's. Gonna replace all of the studs for something a bit longer. Some are cross threaded too...

Also mocked up the aux tank. Drilled the new mount for the electric selector valve and removed all of the old plumbing and manual valve. Had to mod the side body support to allow a tube on the fuel return line. Now to figure out how to vent both tanks....

Rear end is still jacked up in this pic

last month put chromo front axles in, raised stock tank up 2 inches, mock-ed up a skid plate for tank, installed new used rear tank and new sending unit. last week put beads in the tires for balance, this week switched from duals to a two into one exhaust system. Yesterday acquired stock spare axles for the trail.

New 4.11 gears in 4.56 out, swapped in a c4 for the 3speed, Lokar shifter, new hubs, new bearings in both ends, and new ujoints in the '69. Hopefully enough time this weekend to install my new Wild Horse springs that I got in December.

They put square metal tubing under the lead springs(ok, that's fine..) but instead of going and buying the right length u bolts,they resided to just put two or three together and weld them together! And mid western is deff. worse then southern! Lol
