Back from the dead!
Hey guys!
I haven't been on here in months, my life has been pretty busy with work and college, and other things. I had bought a small fuel efficient car (30+ MPG) around December to replace the truck as the new daily driver, mainly why I haven't been very active. I still have the truck, it has just been sitting parked in the driveway for most of the winter.
As some of you may know, I converted my truck to 4x4 last summer, using parts off of a 1990 F150. Plans for this summer include body work, cutting out all rust, welding in new metal, replacing fenders, etc. Going with a black paint job. Going to also tint the windows all around, get some nice exhaust on it, and definitely some new headlights, grille, front and rear bumpers, etc.
Just took it out for a short drive today, as it has been sitting a lot.
Ignore the rust, and horribly faded paint, other then that, it's a nice truck

Thanks Evan!
Thank you Bob! The 4x4 conversion was a big step, body work and paint this summer is the fun part 
Yeah, manual 4x4 shift lever needed to be extended, and steering shaft spacer installed (comes with kit) also had to use relocating brackets for front bumper and raise rear bumper up 3 inches (just drilled new holes higher on frame and reinstalled). And also the fan shroud had to be trimmed to allow clearance for the fan.
Expect a PM from me.
