Marius,
She looks like she has a lot of potential from these pictures. You mentioned rust which may be fairly high on your list for action. How much maintenance has the truck been receiving? Are the brakes working well? Are the brake hoses brittle from age? (i.e., likely to split?) Where I am heading with this is A) tackle all safety items first like brakes, parking brake, steering & lights, B) make it dependable to drive and wheel (heavy maintence & repair), C) upgrade performance (sliders/nerf protection, lift, lockers, winch, disk brake conversion, ...). This is my suggestion and is probably just the first of many.

Congrats and thanks for the pictures.

nice rig Marius!

What are the plans for it?

have you decided yet?

 

[marius]

What car seats can I put in the old ones are shot
motor runs strong
gears shift smooth
brakes good no e brake
wires for all lights in back not something ( no power)

 

[Hugh Heifer]

If all the lights in the back are not working it sounds like a problem in the loom. THey are all on seperate fuses and circuits.

 

[chattfj40]

Search the 40 section...there's about a 100 posts on junkyard seats...if you want to go new, I really like the ones Roger just put in...IIRC Corbeau Moab's. Not sure if they bolt right up, or if Roger had to fab up a mount.

[marius]

thanks
what size tires can you put on without power steering and with stock motor
BUT I first want to finish the 100

 

[chattfj40]

32s work pretty well, but you *might* have to cut the rear fenders, or flip the springs.

I ran that size for years...Super Swapper radial TSLs
