Any Modifications

Rebuilt F engine K&H Import Repair
Rebuilt 3 spd
Rebuilt Transfercase
Some kind of Man-a-fre add-a-leaf shackle lift
Receipts indicate an Aussie 40 front disc brake conversion

Interior is in pretty good shape. Exterior in suprisingly good shape, This 55 has only been in Hawaii for 4 months. It came from LA so rust is surprisingly minimal. I haven't finished totaling all the receipts but it has had approximately $8-9000 worth of work done to it in the last 5 years. Most interesting was that some of the work was done at TLC in Van Nuys.
I am keeping this thing FOREVER!! There are some items that will need to be worked through but its all part of the fun.

Future plans:
Get back to the mainland
Diesel swap or V8 or 2F (can't decide)
5spd
