I have finally returned from vacation and thought I'd post a couple more pics, and list a few of the mods.
The top is currently being refurbished by a fiberglass fabricator/boat repair shop. Should be ready next week. I will then put the top on with all new OEM weatherstripping.
Below is a short list of mods I have done to the 40.
4" Alcan lift with Bilstein shocks
Mini truck power steering
4 wheel disc brake
Dual batteries with stainless tray
Custom bumpers
Warn 9500 lb. winch
Console with Stereo
Dash box
Deep Sea auxiliary fuse box
New wiring harnesses (some, not all)
Alternator upgrade from 45 amps to 94 amps
Aluminum Radiator
Diffs rebuilt by Cruiser Outfitters
Rebuilt knuckles last month
Replaced rear floor, fender wells with 1/8" diamond plate. sandblasted, primed, painted, and bedliner inside and out.
New quarter panels and custom rear sill. This sill will NEVER rust!
replaced barn doors with custom tail gate/tool box
Blah.blah,blah
Bucket seats... these seats suck! They faded quickly and are poor quality. Need to be reupholstered or buy new seats.
New CCOT metal Fuel tank.
New carb.
At the moment, I have a spare head that has been rebuilt by AMS Racing... though I may sale the head.
All of the above has less than 4000 miles on it. I'll post pics of the frame and axles in the next few days. I need to wash it!
Below is a pic of this rig the day I bought her. The 2nd pic is a few months ago. I now have the doors on her.
