I've seen it, where have you been?

Well I guess he hasn't made a gallery on this site, hasn't got any friends either lol. According to his profile anyway.

But he's posted some pics here and there.

Well in its better days (when I drove it home from Texas to Indiana) she looked like this

I’ve currently been fixing things here and there... currently fixing an oil pan dipstick leak and fixing the horribly welded 2wd setup and putting a transfer case back into my 4x4 and a few months back had a rough day and started tearing down to get into rust repair... went to Texas to avoid it and yet here I am.... oh well it is really just the drivers side and I have all the repair panels to fix it.

First two pics are the Rust... but once that is taken care of I will be rust free! And like I said I have the patch panels to fix it just need to find the time lol

Also the next pic is one I just found from my shotgun rider... that was shortly after I picked him up last year. Then we have my 360 that I cleaned up and painted the top half of... and enjoy the last few pics of how the PO put a 2wd setup in my 4x4... and yes those welds snapped off when I bent them by hand

Edit* ok nvm they uploaded in a weird order

Yeah I have a build thread for it on FTE, that is where all the pics go most of the time.

Never got into putting a gallery together as I am on mobile a lot

Starting to look it's age, looks a little molested underneath. Lots to straighten out, that'll keep you busy for awhile. Some nice engine work though....looks like you went through the engine.

That truck has a converter ? Didn't know they were invented yet for that model year anyway.

The exhaust after the headers is cheaply welded on, idk if he needed a “fake” one to pass inspection in Texas or if he just cut a pipe off something and welded it on cz he needed an exhaust? There is really no telling lol

I have everything but driveshafts installed for my drivetrain. Thought I had ones that fit from a parts lot I bought last year but turns out I got nothing... so once I find driveshafts and fix the Rust she will be ready to hit the road again.
