during this process, we have made a lot of progress since the last update. since then we have already put the Dana 60 axle in place and completely converted the suspension to a 4×4 and it is already lifted we stripped down the frame and got it all painted, last time we got the motor and tranny out and we are gonna get the motor ready for me, I’m gonna take it to the CTE center and steam clean it all so that we can get it painted as well, same with the transmission, then we need to make a new cross-member for the truck because the original one was actually the IFS (independent front suspension) so we need to make a custom one because we don’t have one now, which it will work for other plans we have for the truck later on. we plan on keeping the outer patina and leaving everything else nice and clean but leave the paint job, but for now that’s it on the truck and we will have some more progress soon, the recent storm kinda set us back on it and we didn’t get to do much on it.
