    Finally got the garage cleaned out and room enough to start the deconstruction today. I could not control myself and dove right in.

    Well after several days of being to busy, I finally got some time today. I got the engine, transmission and transfercase out and now as the engine goes off to the machine shop, I can begin on the frame and axles. I’ll go through the brake system and suspension, get everything overhauled, cleaned and painted.

    Well, haven't posted in a while but have been working on her. I have gone through the suspension with new Rancho 1" springs, shackles and bushings. Went through the brakes with new lines, wheel cylinders and shoes. Redid all the wheel bearings and installed a full floating kit in the rear from Herm the Overdrive Guy with Warn Hubs. I replaced the front hubs with new Warn. Cleaned and painted the frame. The motor is at the machine shop being rebuilt and I have aquired a t98 4 speed out of a Ford Pickup.
