Hey all! I'm Kyle, and I'm new here. Bought a 79' Crew Cab about 3 months ago. She's been kind of a money pit just keeping her on the road, but I think I just about got everything fixed. She's got a 351M, NP435 and NP205 T-Case.

Recently I've been working on replacing the rear axle. It had a Dana 70 that was previously swapped in, but the gears were shot. So, I found a 14 Bolt for $100, and did a disk brake swap while I was at it.

Plans:

-12 Valve Cummins (500 hp)
-NV4500
-Dana 60 front
-Roof Lights
-Older style grille
-Build custom bumpers

Well enough of me talking, heres some pics!
