Opinions needed for my 4x4's. Im bored with them

Dilemma: lack of money and interest

Rig number one:

a 71 shortbox. the body is in pretty good shape. Needs new paint. interior is nice. I think the wipers dont work. no radio, dont remember if heater works. Needs new fuel tank maybe a fuel cell. There is no filler neck, just a rubber hose above the rear bumper. Not even a cap for the hose, yeah ghetto. So a bunch of small stuff turns into a big project. It has a 14 bolt rear and 44 front. It has brand new 37x14 iroks on it on welds. No motor no tranny.

Rig number two:

Jeep cj-7. wipers barely work, no heater no radio only gauge that works is tach and water temp. two seater and uncomfortable. Looks mean as can be though. It has a narrowd dana 60 front and 14 bolt rear, both locked. hydraulic steering. 39.5x18 boggers on beadlocks. amc 360 and t-18 4 speed.

Parts in garage: 600 hp solid roller 496. Custom built t-400/np205 for said motor. Origianlly destined for the 71. but now im bored with it

stockish 350 with t-350/205. originally destined for jeep. again, im bored with it.

So i could
1. finish the 71 the way i planned
2. install the 350/350/205 and sell the truck
3. install 496 in jeep (bad idea, but sounds fun)
4. Sell both rigs and buy a already built tube buggy
5. let the crap sit in driveway and drink beer around the 496 and talk about what it should go in
