project trail plug

today i bought the truck i need for this build. its a 76 3\4 ton 4x4 with a 3 inch lift. its really hurting but its got hope. The whole body is coming off and i will do frame inspection. i looked over it good and i couldn't see any cracks or bends. the rear leaf mount has rusted threw so i hope the frame isn't.

specs on the truck....
44\14
4speed
np205 FY
no motor.

the tuck is nothing special, i got a 14 bolt with a detroit locker and disk breaks when i get that finished it will go in this. i would like to put a dana60 in it but no $ for that.


What im hoping to accomplish

chop the box a foot in the back
shackle flip
4 to 6 inch lift?
38 inch somthins
rear 14 bolt Detroit locker\disk breaks
interior cage
2 or 3 stick tcase. i might get to confused with 3 lmao
The tank 14bolt ff


the truck
















before i got this pos the cab was swapped out with a 2wd so there is gaping holes for the trans-tcase and its very rotten. the whole frame painted a ugly yellow, only god knows why.

Re: project trail plug

so im keeping this frame. the mount is in nasty shape its really rotten and it has a crack but im going to cut it out and (mig) weld it. mig is fine on a frame you just cant heat it up to much. im not changing my mind on going to a blazer or anything cuss iv always wanted a long box chev.
this is what i got done today.

Re: project trail plug

Front end is pulled, not going to worry about the back since i got the Detroit locker to go in there. The weak 44 is staying since i cant afford one at the time. iv got the adapter for the trans/tcase just got to wait till august 28th i think to guet it. What ever i don't need it right away.
im trying to do the 205 twin stick but im no sure about when you punch the frost plug out, what do you do with the pins?



doner frame







the muncie sm465

the rear end thats going in it
