No, not sure I can make it.
No tow rig and spent all the funds on a badass ass trans.
That’s how you know you can drive it there and back
I would rather ride with someone then drive it that far.
While I have to remember that it's your decision, I will ask that you remember how @4door99 has driven his with an old tired engine and transmission. Your drivetrain is in better shape. Hell, @Bent77 used to drive the old '72 over the passes on I-70 to get to Moab, both are about 10K elevation, with a decent grade. You just have to climb up to Flagstaff, which is less steep. Take your time and don't try to do a Cannonball thing, and I would bet that it would be a great ride.
Seat bracket fab is all done, just need to get the truck over center the seats on the tabs and weld it in.
That will happen this week, then it's prep for a "overland" trip race truck style.

Got these in today, so far I like them alot more support then the bench.
Please forgive the mess

Going to real off-road seats has made my rig much more enjoyable for me and my passengers.
After doing some aggressive driving I feel a lot better in the seat.
Don't know what to do with this.
Grinder with a wire cup. Por15, sound deadener and new carpet.
Case closed.

Por15 is a bandaid? I know the only true answer is cutting it out and welding in new but do I really need to?
Ok well rust reformer and then por15. There isn’t even rust there. It’s just brown stained paint. Sand/wire to bare steel and move on.
That is the fix for that.
You only need to cut when there is a hole.
Surface rust is just that surface rust
The punch welds have ate through in a few areas but I think I might be able to save it?
I'm lost when it comes to rust I just know go further then you think and get a clean edge.

Lol. It’s junk. Give up on it.
Haha, I know it's nothing but to me it's a lot.
