Thanks Robb.
Here's some more 1eye...
1eye the sliders are pretty str8 fwd. .120 wall 2x4 cut at an angle on each end and capped. Welded to the frame via home made 1/4" channel. Weld some rings on those sliders and you could lift the truck by them with a crane. I like them much beter than tube sliders, beter platform for sliding, runing exo into and for walking on.

Right now my plans are:
Fix ignition, there is some funky wiring going on and doesnt require a key to start.
Fix lighting, again funky wiring lights wired straight to battery, turn signals don't work.
Fix back brakes and parking brake, they are unhooked.
Fix seal at top of windshield, has a small leak.
Find some 31" tires, don't know if the gearing is good enough for bigger.
Find a decent bed ( that will be really hard), or fabricate a flatbed.
Install new shocks.
Check my front supsension/driveline, there is a bad vibration at 50 miles per hour or higher.
Other than that she just needs alot of loving.
