Re: 81 progerss

Nice Job.

(If you have trouble with a column shifter what 'bout an aftermarket floor shifter.)

Re: 81 progerss

thanx guys im no pro body man but always learning new things a i do more projects. As far as my brothers and I we are not afraid to tackle new projects. over the past 5 years we had done work on my 56 chevy tk on an 81 2wd chassis, my 51 panel, 54 chevy tk, we redone a 61 willy's jeep, a 71 international scout and a 47 international kb-1. As soon as i get the 81 done in gonna be looking for another 47-59 chevy tk to do again
Southedisto if we were closer i would surely help ya out on your Jimmy
