Positive it has the body lift. I purposefully left out the rear end picture because the gap is painfully obvious. The rear bumper relocation bracket hasn't been easy to find, so I'm assuming that's why they did the front and not the rear.
Where are they selling the new brake lines?

You dont really need anything, just send in all your paperwork and 75 bucks and they will send you a test date. The test is mostly common sense. The web site is mass.gov/dps. you can print all the forms there.

Yes actually if you go past halls and take a right at that first big intersection with the CVS and gas stations, every auto parts store in town is on that road lol

Hmm, it looks stock in the photos. I looked at some of my old truck pics and yeah I can now see how the bumper in the rear should be a little higher. Covering the lower edge of the body. The brake line can be gotten at NAPA: NAPA AUTO PARTS
And a shot of the back...

Huh, I got confused. I didn't know what Halls was and assumed they were up near the mall. Looks like they're right across the street from me.

Already tore most of the front end apart on the truck, just gotta take out the axle shafts and pop the knuckles off next to do the upper ball joints.

I'm going to attempt fixing the brake line. Planning to go over early to the DMV and get it registered tomorrow morning. With any luck, I'll have it on the road by the end of the weekend. The cold weather is not going to help.

Evening guys, working on the truck today was terrible. And now, the bottom ball joints, even though they are brand new, are spinning with the nut when I am trying to tighten them. Spec calls for about 120 lb-ft and they are spinning with minimal force by hand! Also, its like the nuts have little indents in the thread to stop the nut from going down farther, grrr. I'm thinking maybe I can put the jack under the lower ball joint and lift the truck up to try and get some pressure on there to keep it from spinning.
I am really wishing right now that I never sold the solid dana 44 that I had to swap into this truck a few years back. These TTB front ends are pure garbage.
