So I picked up this beauty a few days ago. Today I started getting to know it. As it turns out it in pretty good shape and perfect for what my budget can handle. So in the works will be a OME 2 1/2" spring lift and some suspension repair while im under there. I will also be putting on 31" AT's of some kind.(havnt decided on brand yet) I think I am going to try to find some new seats as well. I have the original brackets for a split and might go that route. Other then that its just chipping away at the little things as money comes available. I will be spending a lot of time scouring this forum for info as well.
Thanks in advance,
Paul

I like it!!!
 
Put the new OME springs on today as well as the new tires BFG AT 31x10.5x15 with freshly painted steelies. I did run into a problem with the shocks though. As it turns out the PO took it back to "stock" from a previous SOA but left all of the shock mounts in the spot where they were moved to for the SOA. So I still have some fab work ahead of me in order for the shocks to fit correctly. Doesnt drive all that great w/out the shocks, thats for sure. But maybe next week sometime I will get it over to the shop that will be doing the metal work. Other then that its just little things here and there and drive it often.
