Truck's looking good! Check with your local offroad and 4x shops, get on pirate4x4.com and other forums for the rear jeep springs and you may find a free set.

I posted in a few "for sale" groups on facebook that are local, someone should have them close by. We do a good bit of glass work for a local shop that installs lift kits, they should have a set.



I picked up a pretty nice gas tank for $20 bucks today, and deluxe heater with inside air duct, controls, and cables for another $20. Not sure yet if I'll convert it to a deluxe heater or save that for Goldilocks.

Shot of the inside of the tank. I'll clean it with muriatic acid to get the rust out before installing it.




Also peeled back the newer seat covers to find that the original cover is still there. Hopefully the base is decent enough to live with, the vinyl cover that's on it is pretty nasty looking.
