Tortis' 1985 Pickup Build-Up Thread

This truck has a few problems, nothing major.
Plans included twin t-cases, w-56 trans, cross over steering, 4.88 or 5.29's gears and 35'' tires, and a flat bed. lots of bracing and armor

Nice!! That body looks clean. What size lift is on there now? And tires? Looks good bro. Good luck w/the project. And keep that bumper! In case you run into a black bear or two.

D.J. 32'' tires are on there now, and I have no idea on the lift.

I thought I had a bad drive line problem, but when I got it home and started taking pics, I noticed the hubs were locked in.

1st job is to pull the windshied and fix the rust spot around it. That is the only rust on the cab. The bed is another story.

I see. So the flat bed is a good choice. Can't wait to see it done. Bet you are going crazy you can't work on it right away.
