Re: I must be crazy!

Looking good! Not much more and you'll be driving it again. Did you go with the shackle flip in the back or lift springs? I have a new set of springs for mine, but I don't think I'll put them on until I get it and the pickup moved back to MO. Well, and the shop built, house done and barn moved...and whatever else wifey comes up with along the way. Keep those pics coming!

Yes, I did do the shackle flip in the rear. Put the doors on yesterday. Slowly but surely it will come back alive.

It's also called grapefruit yellow. Some people call it yellow-green. Great looking project, keep the pics coming!

Re: I must be crazy!

Well I am making progress, It actually moved today, still no brakes but that's nothing. All I need is new trim, bumpers, grill, vintage air, carpet, stereo, 4" springs for the front and new tires and it's done!

Re: I must be crazy!

Thanks, I am going to try to get that roll bar from you soon, at least before the end of the year. Hopefully I will be hunting with my buddy from KC soon and when I do I will look you up. Do you have any 4" lift front springs? Mine are 6" and I am going to go with 4".

Re: I must be crazy!

Been a while so I thought I would update the Jimmy pics. It is pretty much done except for the A/C, stereo and whatever I decide to do with the back panels. It has 6" lift springs in the front with a 4" shackle flip and 1" block in the back, I still need to put 4" springs in the front and new shocks and stablizer before I get it aligned. I may go with 33" tires instead of the 35's that are on there now. You can't really see it but I have bedliner spray under the bottom trim on the truck, rocker panels, inside bottom of the doors, inside on the floor, kick panels and all of the underneath of the body. Anyway I have been driving it for a couple of months. I posted a picture of my next project, completely different!
