Here's my '78 from a couple years ago. It hasn't progressed much since then but it does now have a cage over the bed and a NOS (from 1963!) military canvas top.

Specs.

Front end... 60 knuckles, Luke arms, DOM rods, ram assist, Turned and gusseted housing.

Rear end ... Factory FF c/w 80 series locker (mostly) converted to air

Engine... '98 Vortec 350, Griffen Alum rad, Taurus fan

Tranny... 10 spline 465

T-case 1 ... 203 (air shifted)

T-case 2 ... Splitcase (air shift high low, lever front drive)

Mini truck Tilt Steering column c/w controls for wipers, lights etc.

Terrible PO Saginaw conversion

Shortened and narrowed bed from a M101A military trailer.

Stock, mint bench seat!

Named "Trillian" from the Hitchhiker's books and the amount spent on 20 years of indoor storage.
