Talking My 78 4x4 longbed build with pics

Well I am finally getting around to creating my build thread, I have done quite a bit of work already s I will have to assemble all of my photos and videos. So far I have:
replaced rear leaf packs
fuel pump with electric (will be replacing again with a more reliable pump)
rear shocks
removed both fuel tanks and installed only the new rear with straps
stripped and coated frame
replaced coil, distributor, cap rotor, plugs, air filter and pcv breather.
front and rear brakes are completely new
Front wheel bearings
front axle joints new
rear ebrake cables
new rear brake lines and hoses

Atlantic Canada, I swear there's an identical twin of your truck up here, I've seen it a couple times, I thought you might have been the owner haha.

So I finally got the bed I found and here it is, I paid 60 for it so It leaves me with a budget to overhaul. More to come!
