Engine
Engine looks a little rough despite being a fresh rebuild with zero miles on it. Looks like it may have been left uncovered out in the weather for awhile so it's not beyond needing a partial teardown just to check it out. There should be an extra gasket set inside the truck. As far as I know, it's complete to include the throttle mechanism, it just needs to be hooked up.
Interior #1
Definately rough looking, always has been. Minimal rust in the floorboards, unless it's gotten substantially worse since the last time I saw it, it should just be repairs vs. replacing metal. That is an HJ60 steering wheel. I don't believe any wiring side has been done for this. Dashpad is shot but the dash/gauges all worked. Silverado seats with the integrated seat belts, they are not bolted in.
Interior #2
Support bars for the headliner are all there. The original front bench seat is what is flipped upside down in the back. The back seat that is there right now is from a late 90's Pathfinder if I remember. I was looking at options for a split back seat and this one seemed to fit pretty good, it's within an inch of the same width as the original back seat. I have the original back seat but it's in storage in Kansas.
Exterior #1
Left side: Body lines are straight, doors open and close as they should and are not crooked. The only rust I know of is the following: on the left side at the lower part of the driver's fender (about the bottom 6" need replacing). Rain gutters all the way around have rust. Filled the gutters with epoxy to minimize any more rust developing. Unfortunately the fabricator left it out in the weather so what was left of the current paint job is probably shot at this point.
Exterior #2
Grille is in truck, has surface rust on it and needs to be repainted. The second photo really shows how much wider of a stance it has with the FJ60 axles
Exterior #2
Only pic of the right side. Same issue as driver's fender, the bottom 6" or so will need to be replaced. The right front door is tough to close, I think it's because one of the hinges is bad but I never got around to really checking it out. For the back photos, there is a dent from the frame at the bottom left of the body. There was an issue with one of the cross supports on the rear of the frame which was repaired. There is a bit of rust (surface as far as i can tell) and bondo on the tailgate. I don't know the amount of bondo but there is some where the rust spot is. Window goes up and down as it should, no binding or slipping from the gears.
Nice Pig! I am learning from you guys! Keep it up! Ben
