I'm finally doing the write-up on my 83 framed, 87 engine and tranny, 90 IFS rear, chevy spring, 94 2wd cab build up...

Here are a couple pictures that I took a few weeks ago...  Just need a bed, or need to build a bed to get it back on the road!!  Woo-hooo!!  Get excited.    Well...  As soon as i figure out how to resize these pictures of something...

Oh, and this is the same truck in all the pictures...  It's just been rebuilt...  But I'll get to that!  

When I got back to Missouri I fabbed some bed mounts and bolted it down.  Then threw out the worn out bench seat and fabbed some brackets to mount bucket seats from a Saturn car.  I stripperd the carped out and washed it down at the car wash and added a steering wheel, white face glow gadges and stuff...  The outside looks pretty much the same except for the rachet strap...

Here is the truck on my way to Colorado...  With those two kayaks on the top I thought I was going to blow away going across kansas...  At least the heater works now...   

One day after watching the punisher movie one too many times I cut out a stencil and did a little painting on the hood!   

Here is a better look at the firewall mod...  And a good wheeling pic.  Woo-hoo.

Then there was that trip down through Redstone to Gunnison...

And finally flipped the J-arm ball, which is one of the best - easiest - cheapest mod to the stock steering that I have ever done.  It completely fixed my chearance problems! 

I also added a weber 32/36 and modified an edelbrock air cleaner to fit it.
That bright orange wire is linking my two batteries...

sorry didn't mean to pm I mean to post 

cool truck what year seats are they? They look good in the truck, big enough to sit comfy but small enough to not distract any views,

thats a good idea I hate my seats they are deluxe seats vinyl and they are BROWN (i have grey interior)

Here is the new bumper I built in the snow.  It turned out pretty good. 

This January I got some very bad family news and decided to move back to Missouri.  So the project got put on hold for a while...  Here is a great picture of the stinger bumper driving back across the passes from Western Colorado.

So things were finially comming together with the Yota project..  But then some lady on a cell phone ran me off the road and I rolled it over at around 50 mph...  Yeah, that hurt a little. 

So now that my daily driver is back up and running, my Punisher Yota rebuild can begin!!  Woo-Hoooo!    

With the cab being damaged the way it was, there really wasn't a way to put a new windshield in without doing some serious jacking on the passengers side corner...  I tried to find a donor cab the same year, 87, but didn't have much luck. 

I had a 94 2wd stiiting over in my parts field with a fairly straight, solid, but very neglected body on it.  It had been sitting for a few years and had about 2 inches of rat poopy inside.   

This pic was taken after I took the cab off the 2wd frame and raked out as much poo as I could with a piece of 2x4

It looks rough, but it was mostly surface rust.  It will need a new winshield too, because the reason the truck was in my parts field to begin with is because my brother ran it off the road, hit a stump and bent the frame, and then went ahead and busted a perfectly good windshield with his head...    

Here is another pic of the inside of the cab.  I also started labeling all the wiring because I am pulling the EFI harness out so I can replace it with the carb harness. 

 I know, I know...  EFI is the way to go for most people.  But I was really happy with the performance from my weber carb set up engine, and my daily driver is EFI and it was a beoch to get everything right after swapping that rebuilt 22RE in it.  Throttle Position Sensor, Knock sensor, O2 sensor, ect, ect, ect!  If my carbed 22R isn't running, it's either not getting fuel/ the wrong amount of fuel, or not getting spark / the wrong spark timing.
