Restoring my fathers old hunting Jeep

That beautiful machine ain't no head turner; it's a head snapper! Congratulations ... to say you do excellent work is an understatement.
Thanks for sharing. :)
 
Out of hibernation......man she needs a good bath

Really like to find a half cab for her :)

This is the general look and color she's after

Having watched you fabricate just about anything you need i wonder if you will build your own lift or order a kit? Either way I'm sure it will turn out awesome!

This is the first time since April that I had the time to drive her. She drives like a dream...still a bit of wander in the steering i need to troubleshoot but she drove great

I'm sure glad you picked the old Chevy up for your wife. Looking forward to this build probably more than the others.

How about a progress report ? I found this cab on Facebook just needs a little work. Owner had all the new parts to fix it, including 2 brand new doors still in the boxes. I got the whole thing for close to what the doors cost new. Already stripped and blasted. Saves me about 200 hrs of work

Also made 2 plates to reinforce frame where I cut it

Making good process. I found a front axle that had disc brakes so I bought that for the components and got a disc brake kit.
Also switched out the rear axle to a 14 bolt 1 ton axle so I can do a disc brake conversion on the rear. So it will have disc on front and back
