It's nice to know that there are more pigs migrating to Colorado, I'll be keeping my eyes open for your parting out threads.

Which year driver door do you need? I have a bunch of door shells in various conditions from all three versions and I still owe you for the wheel well piece.

Jim,
I need a couple of doors, driver front,passenger rear. The guy i am buying the 77 from says all the doors are good, so I will know Wednesday if this is true or not. But the driver I need is the rounded front corner on the window frame.

Have a very good rear passenger door, complete with glass and mechanism but no interior panel. We can talk about price. Probably have a driver door shell or two in fair condition...they're yours if you want 'em next time you're in town. Just let me know so I don't sell 'em by the pound.

Got the 1977 and the LT1 today, spent 7 hrs in shop and got the 77 completely striped and body off the frame. It has a good roof if anyone is looking for one. Frame looks nice, tomorrow I will prep it for the install of the LT1. I will shoot pictures tomorrow,got all wrapped up in the tear down and forgot to shoot any today.
Ordered a 4crawler 1.5"body lift last week, in hopes that I wont have to beat the fire wall for the motor. Also hopeing with a 1.5" body lift and 1.5 inch hanger I will clear my 35x12.50.15.
Have any of you guys seen or used one of 4crawlers fj55 body lifts?
Just wondering if you were happy with the results.

not on a pig, but we used one on the fj62 that we raffled off a few years back and it was great.

I really want to go power steering but dont have all the parts, was hoping to at least get the motor in and running and actually drive it before addressing the steering, so what am I missing here?

So nuclear, what did you do so they did not touch?
for now they touch and i can't get the exhaust on. i'll be going power steering before the rig is up and running tho
Lookin' good so far!
Geez, your "doner" body looks better that either of the bodies on my rigs!

Brewtus,
Your not to far away come get it before it goes the way of the scrap yard! I have a title for it.You can have it for its weight in metal.I started to use it but it has rot around the rear wheel wells an mine does not, however I like the back end better.

Go 60 series PS and be done with it!
Brandon:
Mine has OEM manual steering w/my older 350. One difference is ramshorn manifolds. It's getting the headliner in today and then back for some initial reassembly at the body shop or I'd send a pic. I'll get one to your email address when I get a chance. My only worry until I do some sort of ps conversion is heat due to proximity to the manifold. We installed new seals on the box so I'll see how long they last.
