Not looking forward to this:
I'll be starting on this very soon. I started the thread a little pre mature, but threads like this actually motivate me to do stuff and post pictures (same thing for the original build in 2006). The nice thing is that I can keep the truck a runner for quite a while before she has to come off the road for a while. I can do the motor and suspension swaps over weekends and try to keep her alive as long as possible. Even drove it to work today in 16* weather. Old girl fires right up.
