"The possum" build - 1970 4x4 LWB on mid 70's chassis

Thanks for the kind words Ryan. Some people frown on it not being "by the book", and I think that has cost me some feedback, but I got this truck with a salvage title, in hacked-up shape, made from several different trucks, spanning at least two decades... Besides, theres no "kit" for most of the things I have done so far...

I wish I had better tools, and more money to throw at this thing, but I really don't think I'd be throwing much more at it...YET! Like I said there is no kit to level out a 70 on a 79ish? frame that the PO hacked too much off the back end of... I would've liked to have cut & welded the frame to make up the difference in wheelbase, but with too much missing off the back end, it really wasn't an option for me... (68tt did a great job of this on his project) I could've went SWB with it, but didn't feel my welding/body work skills were up to it... Also I like LWBs with the back up higher than the front... The PULLING TRUCK look!

The budget is a little tight for my toys right now, as we are buying lots of little pink & purple toys & misc. accessories (mostly diapers) for the package from the STORK that we are expecting in the next couple of weeks!
