Back on the road
After almost 4 years I finally drug the old truck out and got it on the road again. This time it has a 454 and a th400. It still has a long way to go but at least it is driveable again. I almost forgot how much I enjoyed this truck.

Re: Back on the road
Thanks. I will have it at the car show April 26, 27, and 28 at McGee park. You should come. Or better yet, put your truck in it

Re: Back on the road
I will probably go on Saturday but my truck isn’t going to be there quite yet. If my truck is running for the show on West Main Street in July I will probably have it there. If not my Camaro will be there for sure. I’ll look for you at the McGee show.

Re: Back on the road
I got my front springs in today. I like the way it sits and drives now.

Re: Back on the road
I researched wrangler springs years ago . I ended up using 4" drop springs instead. How does it ride ?

Re: Back on the road
My son gave me the springs when he raised his Jeep. It rides great, too soft if you are going to haul with it though.

Re: Back on the road
Other than put a bumper on the front of it I don't know what I would change. Looks pretty good.

Re: Back on the road
I think that might have been what made me change my mind . I haul with mine sometimes.
