How's the triple shifter working out?
Was building a few parts tonight, trying to get some out for destructive testing and feedback.

Might have to swing by sometime, have a cousin in spoken and some more family up in Montana so I am through eastern WA a couple of times a year.

I just need to clear out my garage so I can swap transmissions, again

How my 79 is currently sitting

In the process of making my new rear hangers for 57" Fords, getting the useless crap off the frame (shock towers, torque rod mount, rear x-member, bumpstops, horsecollar, etc.)

long way to go on the 4th build of this truck

My blue 1983 has 38 inch swampers on it in the picture. I have stepped down to 35 inch mud terrains now though.

NM on the info, I looked it up.

Yep fully stock and uncut, came with one of the original keys, orig owners manual, still has the original dealer stickers on the side and the tailgate! It has the fewer number VIN or ID and I was wondering if the last numbers 00xxxx are the number of the truck for that year??

I got some un cut front fenders to replace the ones on there now. I removed all the surface rust from the new fenders and primered the outside and Hurculined the underside. I also got some replacement doors in better shape with working lock mechanisms. I'll post some pics of the truck once it has its new tins installed.
