Nothing special, restoring the body. Rockers first.

Yea, it's got 319,000 Michigan miles and it's starting to show lol. Drivetrain is almost perfect. I have to de-crank the bars and get rid of the block in the back, then come back up w/4"suspension lift to get my ride back. It use to have a real good ride to it. The engine is perfect, so it's worth doin. Gutting the cab as well. I had the truck since new.

Yea, it's just been sitting in the garage taking up space. I want to use it again, - good times in that thing lol.
You know that truck still has the factory greaseless u-joints. Guess I'll do those while I'm at it.
Just put new half shafts on it, I blew one running it in 4wd in the air. I ran the truck in gear every 3 months to keep everything lubed up. You can't really center the weight right under the front axles correctly, sure enough, I blew one..grease everywhere.
The trans would start leaking after 3 months of sitting, that was more less my gauge to run it again. Converter leak down....normal.
