Nice, too bad about the headliner though. One of these days I hope to take mine down to frame, but the budget is not there yet.

Thanks. yeah i had another headliner made luckily he left enough of the old one that the upholstery shop was able to duplicate me another haven't installed it yet so don't know how good the fitment will be. my intentions wasn't to go all out super clean with it but its a rare cool truck so i figured why not.

Thanks Hotrod80. I'm hoping to have it back on the track sometime in February or March. I'm rewiring the whole truck and let me say it is kicking my butt!

No. Just the spindles And the brakes that go with it. I may end up fabricating some uppers tho I don't really like the angle on the upper control arm compared to the lower.
