4x4 North

Looks like it will last another 3 or 4 decades. No sense going any more hardcore with trying to fix it unless you're going to have the body blasted or dipped, and you're not doing that.

i have to keep telling myself that, is just hard when i cut out a piece and replace it and there is more rust few inches way

finished up the pass floor last night





also had to patch the A pillar on both sides as some big holes in them

went and got the parts truck before we got more snow

front cab mounts, used the obs frame mounts and just trimmed them down and they lined up with the 62 cab



got both the brake and clutch master mounted.



made a super ghetto mount for the brake master, needed to move the master out and has a different bolt pattern then the 62 master



also got the obs bench seat mounted, its a little big for the 62 cab but works. now i can try and build a steering column

You planning to run the bench seat? Or find some buckets?

Brake booster mount looks about as good as some of the factory ones Jeep used when they had the same problem.

im a classy guy so it would be a Mexican blanket

got the seat mounted and belts in



tcase shifter is hooked up and working now, cut a hole in the trans cover. still need to bend the shifters a bit to work with each other but waiting for shift knobs to come in and have to see what i have for shift boots



and no more slammin salmon as been painting as i go, roof will be paited white just need to lower the truck down so i can get there and paint it

Paint looks pretty legit from here.

trying to get the back end of the truck done. rear shock mounts off the ubolt, did this on the last truck and worked well. used the stock front shock mounts and cut a hole in the box for them. also got the fuel cell mounted





was able to use a 08-10 gas superduty front drive shaft in the rear and fits perfect



whipped up a simple rear bumper

This build gives me the wood. Bench seat with race harness....fuk yeah

So you're like 95% done now?
