Here are a few pics after the swap. I will be tinkering around adding insulation, carpet, stereo, front axle, and 7 degree bushings to tighten the steering, and more as I go along like everyone else. Hope to get the trans rebuilt over winter, but want to enjoy it some now.
Would never be where it is now without the help of Rob, Booger, Phil, Dan and others. Thanks guys! I love this damn truck!

One of the biggest reasons I got this rig was to head to the river to flyfish and go shooting birds. I did not make it on the river today, but I did drive to Bud's in Sedalia for a couple Bud burgers, made my way down around Deckers, played cowboy with the Colt 45, and swung her on home down Foxton Road and 285.
One the best days I have had in a long, long time!
