Future projects as related to this 40:
Gotta soften the rear ride. I plan to relocate rear spring hanger forward and maybe lose another leaf in the rear spring packs.
New rear spring perches. The V8 is crushing the stock ones.
Gotta do a GM cross flow radiator. Not bad this time of year but the cooling system is surely taxed in the summer.
Family cage. Primarily to keep the sun off the kids. Maybe a Heep rear seat. I am not looking forward to having another custom roll cage cover made or drilling holes in my floor/fender wells to mount the seat. Plus the inevitable damage to the rear heater from the brats stepping on it as they crawl through to get into the back.
As far as another TLC project, I'd love to do another 40. Something not so common though. Thoughts of a right-hand drive diesel sound cool. Or maybe a late Canadian FJ45 with a custom extended cab. All it takes is time and money, two things which are now in short supply! Who says you can't dream though?
