Cliff..The "jungle truck" is off to the media blaster tomorrow. Everything but the bed sides and the frame. I still have a ton of work to do on the bed sides cleaning up all the welded on junk first. The frame still needs the old bed and engine removed as well as the axles housings and it will be ready.
I'm not sure where to store it all when cleaned up as the shop is full and we have a 57 chrysler 300C in way on a rotisserie.
Almost everything is here to put it all back together except winch parts, NP435 which I have my trans man looking for and a centered axle housing.
I just rebuilt the transfer case this past week and tinkered with alot of small parts including cleaning all the original "DPCD" bolts and have some NOS ones on the way to replace the battered and broken ones.
I figure I will be done by the end of August except the bed. I am working on getting a 1950 FFPW and a 1964 WM300 to add to the lineup both of them run and stop and are street legal(I need something to drive in the meantime) to keep me ambitious.
Thanks for asking,
Chris
