Thumbs up Ok, the truck is done enough for now!

Well its done enough! Its been a long 18 months or so. I realized how crappy my camera was after I took the latest pics. Looks better in person. The color is 78 AMC Alpine White. Here is what I did during the past year:

Replaced power steering box
Replaced xfer case chain
Welded cracks on all 4 corners of cab
Replaced the drivers side fender flare
Cleaned up the electrical
In dash voltmeter upgrade
Moved AC controls over to the left
Placed tach on center console(see moving ac controls)
Wired center console indicators to work correctly(2wd,4wd, and 4lo)
using relays and 1 momentary on switch(for 4lo)
Put bedliner in cab
New carpet
Added Custom Cab emblems
New to me radio antenna from a waggy
New to me door seals from a waggy(like new)
Seats out of 93 Sunbird on the Jeep mounts
Replaced tripod mirrors with power mirrors from a Waggy
Herculined the lower 1/4 of truck
Put a tonneau cover from a 89 Dakota longbed on
New tailgate cap from a 88 Chevy Full size

I still need window wipes, some headliner material, and a gallon of Herculiner to line the bed with. But its driveable, so now that van I was driving can go ahead and blow the head gaskets like it wants to.
