Small update.
We re-wired the taillights and cut the plywood for the flat deck.
When I get some more time the plywood will be bolted down and the interior will be finnished.

We used automotive paint.
It was left over frame paint from a friends hotrod build.
I forget what the type it's called but I do know that it doesn't need clear coat.
The pictures don't do it justice.

Thanks for the comments!! It should be finnished soon.

She runs just like the day we brought her home, despite sitting for a year the 22r still runs like a top.
Got insurance today and filled up the tank.
Oil change tomorow.

Thanks for the comments!

I never realized how much I missed driving this truck.
Any suggestions of what I should possibly do or look out for since it has been sitting for a year, driven a bit here and there to get around the yard.
I changed the oil, always run synthetic anything else?
Also, I was wondering if anyone could direct me to a thread or possibly help me out with the stearing, possibly a better power assisted steering box?

You could always fab up a hydro assist steering.

How would I go about doing that? I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to that kind of stuff.
Any threads you can recomend, since I'm sure it's been covered numerous times.
