I forgot about that! No big deal, it was less than $100 brand new. Only downside it doesn't have a drain plug.grcthird said:

He is still beating on it and has done a lot of work to it. Hopefully he can find time to upload photos and the details.

I had so much fun with this thing for the past few years with just a rear locker and 31s. In February 2018 me and handful of guys planned a weekend trip to Stoney. I pulled a few parts from the pile and went ahead and threw on a Weber carb and a set of Trail-Gear sliders.

Wheeled around like this for a year or so. I've put countless trunion bearings and tail lights in since. At some point I put disk brakes on the rear. Riding some local land I broke the tie-rod end out of the steering arm in the middle of the woods. Put it back together with a hose clamp and got it to the trailer. At this point I had everything to build it except for a few small parts. We were planning a trip to Coppinger Cove the next month so I borrowed another push pull tie rod, threw in RCV shafts, and welded the front end.

After this ride I was over the **** springs, steering, tuning...and 31s. So immediately after it was torn apart. I needed a set of beadlock wheels. I was going to buy a new set of Battleborn wheels until Red94YJ found these on Marketplace for $200.

I bought 4" TG front, found a set of 2wd 63 Chevy springs for the rear. Both with a 5.5" shackle. High Steer, ARP knuckle studs, dual cases, Bud Built skid plate, Bomb Proof motor and transfer case mount, Bilstein shocks. I'm sure I am forgetting a few things.

I still have a few more odds and ends to finish up on it. Add the hydro assist and cooler are definitely firsts.

Did the 63's make a big difference?

I wish I would've cut it down before the bed got in the condition it is now. I would love to keep the bed, but in reality I will probably end up with a flat bed at some point.

Absolutely... They flex well and it no longer rides like I am on the Oregon Trail

You know it's true, short wheelbase and short, heavy arched springs means you can feel a #2 pencil laying on the road as you roll over it.Oregon trail...

Cool little rig.
I know there are a lot of people that are in the middle of a never ending build that wish they had a nice simple rig like this.
Needs a 90's chrome roll bar in the bed to be mint!
