No updates, been working. Still waiting for parts.
I might not even bother doing anything to the truck until next year and just keep buying parts.
Reason being I might buy a ranger and throw the drivetrain under it, motor and all.
SAS'd rangers, especially full width tons are badass,with some 4D's or 4D2's
Still not sure yet.

In other news, signed on with a new carrier, painted the rig for me.

Poser shot below
Hoods not bolted on to the hinges hence fucked looking hood.
My summit order finally arrived, and I got a lincoln electric 180 mig pak.
So I got a radiator, a clutch, a clutch fork/throwout bearing, and a ring and pinion to install
Need to patch 2 holes in the floor, and build atleast the rear driveshaft for now.
Still needs so much work, and I'm lacking motivation.

i love ordering parts! always be cheking that tracking number every break with my phone
