I obtained a 3/4 ton truck, was thinking to just fix what was needed to make her road worthy. Ended up doing a whole lot more then originally planned.
3/4 ton drum brakes hardware is pricey-It was actually cheaper to convert the front end to 1/2 ton 6 lug spindles w/ disk brakes.
Drive train-swapped in a Chevy corporate 10 bolt & a T5 5-speed. Had a custom 1 peice driveshaft made for her.
