This really pains me to do this but i'm going to need something that's more suited for longer drives.
Purchased this truck from another MUD member (@88red) and he did the LS swap along with restoring the frame. You can view his excellent work here:
...and here's what was done to the frame:
Frame was thoroughly cleaned, primed and painted. The notorious rear c-channels replaced, and rust on the rear cross member was cut out and new steel welded. No other significant frame rust or damage is present.

- @AJR (thank you, again) did a TON of rust repair/body work on the truck (floor panels, rear cargo windows and more) and i'm not aware of anything further on the body... but there is still some more rust work that needs to be done. The driver side door has some rust on the bottom right.
- Headliner needs replaced... no major rips, it's just dirty.
