Not sure what direction im going in yet. Got all the rust fixed, motor runs good, trans shifts good. I did a twinstick on the Dana20.

Welded up all the holes from where the trim used to be. The interior is complete. I need to reseal the T-case cause like every D20 it leaks, and ill paint it while it out. drop the trans and do a new clutch since the throw bearing makes a little noise.
 
That is in great shape. Nice truck.
 
Steps are painted. Will re-install once the body work is finished and I paint the Jeep.

Your giving me motivation to start on my 72 J4700. Did you do the seat yourself?

Looks good akguy, it will be worth the effort! I've got a couple of them and have hunted lots of parts, let me know if you hit any dead ends.
 
well, these are ready for primer. Its about fucking time. Once I got them off I realized the body wasn't lined up. So I spent a few days getting the body shimmed so I wouldn't have to screw with it once those are primed.

Inner fenders are done, working on the front sheet metal and painting that.
Then I can get the bed removed and cab painted.
