original paint, original wheels, original front bumper not sure totally about the rear. original glass all the way around. dash pad is perfect. anything i do to the truck i try to make sure it keeps the nature of what these things are supposed to be.

i love 73-79 squares.

always like 5 things i wanna do.. haha

my first auto mechanics ever was swappin my trans(literally all by myself)

funny thing- when i dropped my 203 i was so nervous because i have never worked on a car or truck. so after i built a custom platform for inbetween my 203 and floor jack, i asked my mom to come down to just be there in case i got pinned by anything. when i was trying to pull my transfer case back i need the jack lowered a hair. unfortunately our jackstand is kinda temperamental so as i was trying to pull back the tc i asked my mom to just twist this handle counterclockwise. My 5'3" 110 lb mom tried so hard but couldnt do it. so somehow I had my hands up pulling the tc back and i snaked my legs around the jack and got it lowered with just my feet .. yay me

oh.. i gotta do weatherstripping all around windows!

The fact that you successfully swapped your transmission with a transfer case on it for your first auto repair is impressive. Most people are scared as hell to try anything on their own, much props on that one.
