So, we started this swap on my buddy Stonewall's pickup last year around october or so. It's been a long slow process as it's only actually had maybe 5 full days of work put into it and has had a few set backs.

Started as a tired ifs that'd been put thru hell and back and even into some mud bog pits. It now had an axle from a 80' I believe? Not sure, getting 5.29 gears, lockers, bfg military 37's, superflex 5" lift springs and shackles, complete engine rebuild which I did personally. As well as some other odds and ends, front and rear bumpers, rock ripper header, the whole nine yards. As of this last weekend the truck is on its own weight and ready to go to the driveline place for some new shafts to be made.

Things to still be done, finish gear install, get wheels for tires, polish up the exhaust work, finish welding everything up, shafts, shock hoops and shocks, paint bumpers and throw those on as well, eventually swapping the auto trans to the manual, the list goes on and never ends.

Been meaning to get this post up for awhile so you guys give me some feedback!! Throwing up a few pics, I have a bunch more but gotta get them on the computer.

 

Id skip on the military tires. Ive never been impressed with those.

What size tires are in it in those pics?

 

Those were 34 tsl's. The 37's were a good deal and it's gonna be pretty much a mud truck with some trail riding every now and then.
