I put a new door on and just kept tearing pieces off.
I now have restored both front fenders, the inner skirts, and the core support. In doing so i replaced the radiator with an all aluminum big core. I am slowing putting it back together.

I had to fight my daughter for the inner skirt as she felt it made a nice fort.

Finally am getting around to finishing my 3/4 ton conversion.
I never had rear shocks. I recently added kicker shocks and dual rears are coming soon
