well sad news fellows, I lost that truck. So, I am back in the hunt. I will keep previous build my plans as they are so that when i find the right swb 4x4 square body I can put them in place. I already have another one lined up, but I am going to wait until that sucker is sitting in my backyard and my Bullie has had time to whizz on the tires before I get excited and start posting pictures. I will continue to read and learn as much as I can.

I believe that a distant family member was causing some ruckus about it. The seller didn't go into details only that it was no longer available. And when that kind of stuff starts its time for me to pop smoke and move on.

Oh yea frame off. It’s got to be cleaned there is a million dirt dobber nest along with wasp nest. Bought it from the original owner it’s been in that field for 10 years. Right now just cleaning it out. Future plans are body interior engine and drivetrain.
