Well, figured id post some progress pics on up here. So, ive got the mid 80's crossmember up there, got my bags all up on it, waiting on drop spindles. Ive got one side floor almost done, along with rocker replaced, waiting on cab supports. I shaved the firewall and mounted up a power brake booster and tilt steering wheel from a firebird. I cleaned the engine, replaced all seals and gaskets, and got a 140 amp chrome alternator for it. Got powersteering for the truck and a pump and bracket for it. Got the ece trailing arm crossmember and auto tranny crossmember which im gonna turn upside down for my 4" z. I got a full interior out of a 97 s-10 blazer which im using the power leather buckets and a few other things. I plan to notch the rear and Z it this week, and then replace the wood floor with metal, and have a compartment in the back for compressors and batteries, in which i have 2 viair 450's and 2 dry cell batteries, 1 regular and 1 deep cycle. Well, i think there is some more, but ill post some pics now...

Well, i hope you all enjoy the pics, i know i sure do!!! I got the 3" spindles on, got 205/75/15 tires on it, have the engine and tranny in it, recessed the bumper 1/2", flipped my ECE tranny crossmember over and dropped the center 1&1/4" to match the 4" Z and so have room for exhaust, got the TA x-member in, got it all ground and painted, cut a good sized hole in the core support for my steering box, and so its all good. Got my box tubing for the rear so i should get that going. Enjoy!
