Didnt get to spend much wrench time this weekend, but I have bumped the full size up a notch in my project list. I dragged the crew cab out so I could put the full size in my main work bay. That way I have room to paint and pull every thing apart Like I want.

I have the entire interior pulled (all but the wiring harness), fixed the mystery leak (heater core). All the rust has been cut out, now I start cutting the patch peices and welding them in.
Now that I have room I'll pull the rear axle shafts out too install my mini spool. I did find a worn ball joint when I put it up on stands, so that will get fixed too.
I have acumilated a bunch of parts to put into it and will be ordering the last of the engine parts soon. I do need some seats from a 90's bronco if any one should see some at a pic 'n pull.

Check out the progress pics. Should see more work next weekend too.
