Thanks Bob: I can't even remember all he's done to it. He started with a stock 88, 318 Ramcharger. Shortened 78 Pickup body. Longer front and rear leaf springs (for more articulation). NP205 transfer case (only 2-1 low but cast iron tough). D60 front with a Detroit Locker. D70 rear, welded, 4.88's. Special driveshafts with long slip yokes (I think, I know they're trick and can go in and out a lot). Changed all the spring/frame mounts and shackles. Crossover steering. Reinforced frame because of flexing due to Crossover steering etc. He made a better steering column shaft with pieces from a Volvo semi. 68 440, 9.4-1, ported 452's with big valves, Lunati Camshaft and a Performer RPM. Hughes convertor, rebuilt 727 (his first 727 and I wasn't even there to help). Custom built dual gas tanks (going to change out for a fuel cell and injection for the sidehills and hills). 42 inch tires, bead locks. Winch on the front and his second fabbed bumper. Those are the highlights but there's a whole bunch more. I think his next projects are a rear bumper (stronger than the last one), injection, moving the front diff forward, 4 link the back axle and of course an external cage. Those could all change though. He was going to put a doubler behind the transfer case using an NP203 but with the 440 and convertor he might not need it. Sure a better way of spending his time and money than spending it all in the pub and driving home drunk every night.
