 My computer was stuck doing some updates and I was near the truck with a camera.

I have been trying to get motivated to do some more work on it. So going out and snapping some pictures may help. :shrug:

These should give you an idea what I still have to do....a small idea.


I want to swap out to the 91 style grill. I have a radiator support, just need the headlights and grill pieces. Also need to build a winch mount for the front, bumper etc for the Ramsey 15K winch with Winchline.com rope on it. Also have 4 KC highlights that need to go up front.




I need some rocker protection with a step, needs to be easy to step up and toss stuff over the bedside right in front of the tire.

Also need a rear bumper. Need to build a rack in the bed to hold shovels, rakes, buckets, 2 more KC lights and a BullDog 10k winch with Winchline.com rope.....and cut out the fenders for the Bushwhacker flares to make room for those 37s.






Roof needs some love. Really need to finish up the body work (which I suck at) and get some paint on it.





....and of course my big hurdle at the moment is that the front axle is broken. It NEEDS something bigger than the D44.

"MrK5" on ColoradoK5 made the decals for the truck. He owns a sign company in Colorado.

When it is painted we plan on putting something like this on the side. "This truck was recycled from scrap by people and companies that care about our trails. It will be used to take care of our trails so that they may be used by all generations."

I like scallops.  As long as they are in period correct style.  And I like your scallops alot better than those on that Furd.

Cool To see your Crew cab build. 

Great ideia for clean up duty.

Wish their were more 3+3 tech articles.

Oddly enough my 1988 4wd Crew (6.2L Th-400 / NP 205 came with a HD D-44 up front too.

Thanks man.



I am moving VERY slow with the progress at this point. It has become a great shelf in the garage most of the time.  ::)


This is about as close to a recent picture I have of it.  ;)
