Thanks You should do it to your 2wd, far less stuff to cut off. Thanks, it will be nice to see how far the springs settle just to see how low it is. The T-case does have a skid plate, it bolts to the holes for the transmission mount.

Been working hard the past couple weeks to get this thing done. Still some stuff to do, but at least it looks like a truck again! Might have to pick up some paint for the fenders though...

I haven't forgotten about this thing. I've been slowly plugging away at it for a while now. Crunch time has finally come, as I have a wheeling trip I have to attend at the end of September so I should have this thing done in the next week hopefully so I can at least work the bugs out...

Nice Stout! I agree, while they are rare you can find them. I've had this one for a few years, just waiting to start on it. Found another I am going to try and pick up.

My bet is SCS wheels converted to beadlocks from OMF.

Thanks! It's a '86 K30 Cab and Chassis with a 350 backed by a SM465/205. This is my 4th Squarebody I own and the most rust free original truck I've ever seen. As for plans, it will be set up for towing and long distance trips, mild wheeling/ camping excursions. Service box will be staying on...

Picked this up a couple days ago. I'm excited to get started on it.

Teaser pic for now.

Interior looking awesome bud. Can't wait to get out an wheel this year!

Good to see you got it all welded together dude. Excited to hear the final verdict on the runner aswell.

Haven't updated this in a while. I been working on it a bit but not as much as I should be. floor section I cut out of my parts 4runner. stole the steering shaft and box out of parts truck. The steering shaft is longer than the 2wd one with 2 slip sections which means I don't have to cut and...

On my tundra I ran 17x8.5 0 offset /4.75 backspace wheels with 35x12.50 Trail grapplers, suspension was Icon Stage Five, billet aluminum control arm.The front coils were just cranked up a couple turns. I had to trim some of my front bumper and push the inner liner forward, lost the mud flaps...

I'll play. '92 2wd to 4x4 swap. It's a slow build so far, progress is dictated as funds and ambition allow. Currently: 22re w56 Solid axle swap OME Heavy Leaf springs 285's LCE header / exhaust To do list: 4:88's ARB air lockers front /rear Tube bumpers Sliders Mildly Modded 22re Winch RTT...

Dude, you think Ally missed this? I'm kicking myself for not having gone. Hopefully this coming year brings many adventures and even more spectacular scenery than the previous years. I must save every possible penny and lock myself in the shop this winter to get ready for 2016! Hahahaha. Thanks...

Agreed, that in lab setting I would hold a car up by 2 threads.In the real world, especially on my truck I wouldn't hang a dome light by 2 threads. hahaha I go by the philosophy of "If you're going to build something, overbuild it". Besides, there is nothing worse than something breaking on your...

Cross member showed up a couple days ago, I had originally planned on building my own but things change. I can always rework this later on down the road. Cross member painted and bolted to the transfercase. bushings installed for mock up. Transmission is jacked up as far as it can go so the...

Truck has taken a rusty dump on the floor lately Have 99% of the useless floor out now, I was able to save more floor than I expected. Just have to finish cleaning up the surface rust and seal it up after the new floor is in. Had some parts show up. EGR block off plates, 1/4"slip wheel...

Put my extended studs in the rear axle. Same ones as are in my front hubs. Pulled the seat and vinyl floor out to cut the shifter hole out for the transfercase. Something looked amiss to me offending object removed My salute to the one of the previous owners attempt at rust repair...

Mounted up my scrap tires on the wheels so I have something to test fit / mock up. lifted the truck up so I can slide the transmission under. Also test fit wheels/ tires. The truck is pretty close to being at ride height here. Currently 22.5 " to bottom of the frame. Roughly calculating...

Glad your lower control arms showed up, kinda disappointed I couldn't help ya with the installation. Also can't wait for the wedding and seeing Doug with all his new parts.
