I vote "red squirrel" as the color.

1982 C/K 6.0L Caitlyn Mall Crawler (Interior time)

Do you have any trouble with rubbing on the fenders? Or does having links prevent that?
It rubs on the front when articulated but sense this is a mall crawler curbs don't rub.
I'll be trimming soon.
Sounds good, I'm in the body work part of my build and am trying to decide on where I need to cut. It will be leafs to get it on the road and links in the future.
Cool think about links is you get way less axle movement.
yup and they don't move back towards the firewall.
Both very great points!! Plus you can place the axle in the perfect spot
And you can jump it without dying
This.
Paint it one color with something decent (using an air powered sprayer is pretty awesome for a project this big). Then use it.
I have a idea I'm going to do, hopefully it impresses people. This truck will always get used and it will always be blue.
Noise came back on deaceleration I swear it's the tcase, but I haven't heard one go bad to pin point it.
Dont paint it.
It looks so awesome all multi colored. Way more cool sleeper factor.

I'd worry more about keeping the truck together than paint right now...
That's why it hasn't been painted and why I keep putting it off.
Well im back to chasing vibrations...
75+ it shakes, been looking at the pinion angle and all kinds of stuff. I also bought a new u joint to replace the slip yoke joint. If that doesn't fix the issue I'm going to take the shaft to a driveline shop.

Vibrations will drive one nuts. Sure did me, and I went down the same path you're talking about - pinion adjustment, rebalance tires, rebalance the shaft, new joints - and my bogey was an ever so slightly loose pinion nut on the 205.
Good luck!

Good luck!

This truck is going to kill me one day.
If your lucky. Then we can bury you in it. Few better ways to go in my opinion
I told my family I want to be buried in it, but it won't continue the legacy.
You have to spawn to accomplish that
