yah the cab is GMC for sure also has gmc taligate on the box as well, i thought about restoration but i learned long time ago in the 4wd world its usually easier and aka cheaper lol sometimes! to build and trade to make a wheeler all the stock parts will be sold to be used for others who want to restore an old napco

well got busy yesterday on stripping her down some more, removed the cab and box and transmission , just have to get the frame on jack stands and start stripping her down to a bare frame so i can start mocking up my 4 link setup and my ride height. I think my frame height is going to be around 47" to the bottom of the frame rail off the ground with 44's so should be nice and low and mean looking when its done! heres some more pics for all of you

sorry for the long time delay in updates guys as Ive had a very busy summer with work and life period! So the truck is now down to the frame ready for the old xmembers to be removed then sent out for sandblasting.

So after considering all my options of the original cab and how much actual rot and rust was is it , I bucked up and bought another much nicer cab out of Walla Walla, WA 14hr round trip drive to pick it up. But I have to say its well worth it the cab itself is in mint shape only needs lower hinge pockets that is it!

Also got some more parts in for the rig this week bought some FOA 14" Coilovers, 1.25" Johnny Joints for my 4 link, 14 bolt grizzly locker and my Chevy hydro pedals for my nv4500 install

heres some eye candy pics
