I see the broken door panel, I suggest keeping the armrest, apparently from what others on this forum have said over the past few years green interiors are rare and MAY be worth some money to someone, the armrest only has 2 screws holding it to the panel from behind, the armrest is attached and then the panel is popped into place, throw out the busted plastic OR integrate the molded armrest plastic section into a custom fibreglass door panel that would re-use the factory armrest/mounting point/door cup pull area...

It`ll stay safe and sound on the door until I get another door/door panel. My side doesn`t even have that much panel, or any guts or anything. Going back to stock panels though. I basically need two new doors. Gonna try and talk to a guy down the road from me, he has a couple dentside trucks and 78-79 broncos sitting outside in pieces.

I know I`ve been slacking on keeping you updated. Had a lot going on, and I still do to a point. Got some pictures for you.
I drove the 250 around some more locally, did great. Cleaned it up quite a bit. Then I took it to school one day when it was bad. Found out that one of my lockouts is put together wrong
, and I didn`t have 4x4 all the way to school. Good news is that it does fine without the 4x4. Transmission slips a good bit, and I have to do something with my rear suspension/shock mounts.
A couple sleight technical difficulties later.....(Read: my internet SUCKS!)
Here are the pics:
Loping off the thing on the front bumper.
Much better.
In this picture you can see how jacked up my exhaust is:
Pretty sure I had that section of bed when I left that morning.....
