Made a few purchases and a little bit of progress recently. I'm trying to get a few things in line before winter--namely the driveline parts stocked up, and the floors and firewall painted before we get too many more days capping at 50° or less. I really hope to get the driveline in place and running over the winter so by spring I can be back to tinkering on smaller stuff. A few pictures to accompany:
14 bolt full floater. Gonna get the Ruff Stuff swap kit for it to do a heavy duty diff cover, pinion guard, perches, shock mounts, and disc conversion.
Getting the engine off the floor and onto a proper stand. I hope to post a video of it firing up soon.
