My turn...83 shortbed 4x4 56k lots of pics

Well here it is....I've had this turd for 5 years now and it's went many different ways. I've finally decided what to do. At first I traded it for a 4 wheeler and I planed on throwing a new engine in and hitting the trails. Well as I got into the truck more I noticed that the frame was painted and the cab was in REALLY good shape. So I decided to make a nice truck out of it. Well as I went along I got the cab painted and set cleaned the frame a little and when I went to hang fenders .....I found out that the frame was bent. So the search was on. I found one after a year of searching and basically I’m doing a high-end build on a low-end budget. That’s what's taken me so long. I've almost got the interior done and the fenders are at my painters now. I'm hoping to have her running by may for my 4x4 Jambo in Lima. specs....
