I picked up this cream puff from “bornforadventure”. Had it shipped from Oregon to Georgia. It’s in pretty decent shape other than the bush league paint job. I’m planning on doing a complete cosmetic overhaul. Grizzly ironworks front bumper. I do need help with the cargo rack and “kc” lights on top.

6.2l diesel
Th400
4.10 gears
34” tires

How much that cost you? Good looking truck.
 
You've been busy, that's a lot of acreage to sand.

I need to get started on mine soon.
I'll have to check out the paint when it's done, to motivate me.(I'm near Winder so not too far).

That’s funny… small world.
I going the cucv route on the front set up. I was able to buy and brush guard/winch combo for my truck so now I have spare bumper, brush guard, shackles etc. the truck ended up great and I wish I could find someone that could fabricate another one of these.

That must be a good feeling to get it in primer. Everything looks straight.
What color/type paint?

Feels very good. I’d admit I’ve been a little in the lazy side last few months. It was starting to flash rust on the bare metal spots even though it was under a tarp and under a carport. Red oxide primer from Gillespie. It’s very stout. I think I’ll go with one coat then 2 top coats then finish with a matte clear coat
 
Any recs on clamp style roof racks? There’s not a single hole or dent in my roof and I can’t in good conscience drill any
 
If you did do clamp style rack it would have to be over th front. Those drip rails are held on by #6 or 8 sheet metal screws, and alittle adhesive. Iirc the factory option rack was bolted to roof
