let me quess scots camera? those pictures are sick with the hail caught in them

yep. they could be even better if you wanted them to but it was for a quick snap shot.

on a side note the motor is almost back together and the sliders are on one side of the truck.

haha i didnt even think to raid scotts taco for the test lol

heres a few more pics of the progress. sliders and the motor work along with the new knuckle on. the 35 bfg muds were on my truck an he bought them off me like 2 years ago that will be going on it for the time being. the goal is low and wide and built right. its going to have as least lift as possible with big rubber (in the future) 

[lilbuddy]

Its alive!

[kiyul4130]

Its alive!

its postable again!!!!!!!! and yes the panty wagon is alive now. the motor is fine. there were some issues with some vaccum lines and heater lines that were screwed up pushing water into the intake. we found another identical truck same year only gray and fixed the lines up and it runs great. it just needs a new thermostat to be safe and a new gasket on the water pump so it doesnt leak water anymore and it should be set to hit the box any day now.

slowly coming along, but coming. my room mate made the cross member for the frame and i welded it in. picked up a new tranny for this thing a few weeks back. (w56) since the 3rd gear was gone in the current one. also got a top shift tcase out of an 83 truck today at the junk yard. pics tomorrow or something.

[THK Matt]

so your replacing the W59 with a W56, correct?
someone else on here is doing a W56 with a W59/3RZ BH.
i like that idea.

so kiyul, if you dont mind.

can you post up a list of the mods to do/done/and want.
that'd rock.

[kiyul4130]

bobbed the bed 13"
replaced the blown head gasket
replaced the cracked head
motors all back together and running good so far
need to change oil 63 more times cause its bad
put in a new front crossmember the other day
spring hangar is done
rock sliders are on (1 side) there getting modded i think
need high steer arms/tie rod/drag link/PS lines
gears, locker, new rear end. damn im tired and going to bed. theres a ton left youll see as it goes..

[THK Matt]

sweeeeet

[kiyul4130]

so things are SLOW, but, slowly getting closer as well as changing. the 6 lug stuff seems to be out the door now (which was the plan) to get 8 lug along with a 70u. i think this thing should be built up or atleast going by this winter for a snow fun

[kiyul4130]

btt, cut the IFS this evening. ill get some pictures up tomorrow or something. this thing is ready to sit on the axle just about. it still needs the breaks all done, a new front driveline, and a whole list. ill post up as we go.

[THK Matt]

Slow process?

[kiyul4130]

ya but the axle is ready to be hung. were gunna hang it on a empty housing (minus gears) so we can move it around easy and get the shackle hangle all perfect. the shackles are done and hangar, all bushings are there. ill post pics.

[THK Matt]

awesome, sounds like a good idea.. glad to see it's not being totally neglected.
I love tacos
