So what's your endgame with this rig? Wheel it? Flip it?
It's going to be babied all the time, he won't be wheeling it, I had invited him on a couple occasions. He has never been off-roading and he is not interested in doing it.

It was built out of the desire to have one for years. He wants to build it up but just for looks. Also he wants to use it for traveling with the family. I think he will keep it for a while. It's been a good experience for him bringing the truck back to life, also his brother bought another inspired by him and we are restoring it too.

Right now, the truck has some steering problems that we are trying to figure out, it keeps swerving while driving in high speed. getting ready for a long trip to Miami next month.

Starting to look much better now that you’re breaking up the sea of lunar rock with black accents.
Yes, hoping he decides to install a rear bumper.

Check the nuts on the lower steering arm and look at the caster.

I'm sure you know this, but those are where I'd go first. And tire pressures. Do simple first.

Rear panhard rod leveling (D-V's or equal)

Steering gear bracket cracks.
 
Updated the turn signals and tail lights. We went for a clear lens to freshen off the front end. I think it looks more modern. The one on the tail lights are LED lights. I took some pictures before and after.

New body mount bushings installed like 2 months ago. I went with the Energy suspension red polyurethane kit. The old ones were shot, some of them were cracked already.

Also went to the 8th Annual 70 series meet and greet at Windrock Park in Oliver Springs TN. Only went on Saturday and we did an easy trail with 15 other trucks. There was another 80 series on that group beside this one.
