everything this weekend was 4x4 related

got the black '79 grille i scored off ebay for $25 shipped and put that on friday, looks so much better not having a busted out grille. i need to get new pics of the truck, i put some different 15x10 alloy ar rims on it that look alot better than the rusted steelies it had.

got my 6 inch front and rear springs from a friend for $200 for all four. pulled the axles, hubs, drums, backing plates, lines, ect stripped off the 14bff i bought and its ready to clean and paint it then the rear disk breaks go on it. started taking apart the new d44 front also. once i get my tax return back i can buy the rest of the parts for the disc break conversion, new tierods ball joints ect for the front, and new shocks and stabalizers. should have the axles and springs in with in the next month along with the new shocks and front end rebuild it will be like driving a whole new truck, right now every part in the front end is worn out and its got blocks and overloads on front and rear so it rides like a tank
