Took the rolling 45 chassis to the body shop so they can mount the body parts on. We set the tub on to make sure it would clear the 4 speed (it did). Very excited to start buttoning up this project!

Took mine camping last weekend.
Drank beer and admired the patina.
Social distancing out by the San Jacinto monument AKA where Santa Anna got his ass kicked

Thanks 1991, but where in the thread you linked does it list the cable, wire, cable ends etc., and source(s) that oestlarsen used?

Yeah you're right, I don't think he posted anything in that thread. I was just thinking that thread might be helpful to anyone contemplating this particular mod.
Make some progress on the rear jump seats. From scratch with Italian pebble grain leather.

Continued my journey into molds and little parts to recreate. This one was an ask and I think it turned out pretty nice.
The FD knob on the early rigs. Up to 67 iirc. Mold is solid and when I get my black resin, I will knock out a few of these.
This one is my test subject. It was tinted, so didn't get to black. The finished ones will have a brass 4MM x .07 threaded insert.
Original on the right.

Nice work!
Fabricated bracket for air tank and mounted tank just forward of the front axle.
So does that actually clear the driveshaft at full stuff? It looks like it wants to share real estate...
Yes. I have an acre within the SHNF. Mostly used as a base camp for the dirt bike trails.
I believe so. According to the tape measure, it should clear by over an inch. Plus I am running 4" springs and extended shackles.

6 years ago discussion with PO:
Me “Is that the correct mileage?”
PO “Nah... the numbers quit moving and I tried to fix odometer without success - I screwed up the mileage but couldn’t
remember what it was before so I just closed the cluster and let it be”
*I got tired of the numbers not moving and used handy ole Mudd to get it fixed up some time ago.... probably an abomination but since PO had no idea of true mileage, I just reset to zero... been waiting on oil change time and it’s here!

Also see the warn one I linked above. That is the one Montana Jacks sells.

Who is Montana Jack? Is there a website? Your link is to the Warn 98381 that Amazon sells.
What I can't tell is how the Warn 98381 unit compares to the Gigglepin mega unit.

Don't do like this big dummy and dump two jugs and almost a quart in. And then realize after the fact they were 5 quart jugs....6 years ago discussion with PO:
