I have completed tearing everything down on my 78 and now waiting on the dana44 and 3rd member for my 9" to come back from the shop. I am having 4.56 gears installed. Just got a digi. camera so i'll be posting some more pics of it when I get them. Will not let me post the pics I wanted but this is what it did look like.

If your posts are not making it through its probably bacause its too high of resolution. Plus the picture size is much larger than it should be resulting in higher than 100KB allowed. Usually reducing the image size works.
Wheel it like you stole it!

It has 35's on it now but I just got a good deal on a set of 38.5x15x15 monster mudders. They have about half tread or more for $150 for the set.

Looks like a very capable wheeling rig. With new tires it will look sweet.

Nothing professional I used rustolium primer and duplicolor truck bed liner paint ( the stuff thats like rhino-linning) sounds cheap but it turned out pretty good.
