Well I have just become a new "Pig" owner as well! My daughter decided that the '55 was not what she wanted to drive after all (she'll probably come around and see the light and want it back).

This is a '76 that we restored completely in '2003/2004. There is still some work needed that I'll get done over the next few months (probably I'll take the truck to Guatemala as a shop project just for this year to show the kids what can be done as a restoration and have them troubleshoot whatever minor problems crop up).

It has a rebuilt 3B diesel with a turbo, H42 4 speed, 3 speed transfer case, factory PTO winch setup (winch head needs to be installed once I get the bumper extensions), factory A/C.

Here is a thread on pirate about the restoration.

I need to get the suspension done, my daughter is convinced one of the leaves is busted and the rest is just odds and ends to tidy things up.

It will likely need to be sold once it's 100%. I don't think the "boss" will allow 3 'Cruisers! I'll post up some pics here once I find my CD's.
