No steering hooked up and I really don't wanna do a burn out with these brand new tires lol.
I do still have the 31's on some 8 lug wheels though

Got a line on a 22 gallon bladder in a box style fuel cell for $20! Gonna pick it up this upcoming weekend.
It's had a lot of love.

Ordered some 4" round LED brake lights and some mounting brackets off of Amazon for fairly cheap.
Went to Harbor Freight and wasn't very satisfied with their selection for brake lights.

Me neither. It'll get replaced.

The bed is long gone. That was one of the options I was looking at though. I thought hard about it.
What did you cut the frame with? Those cuts look extremely clean.

Sawsaw and a new Diablo brand bi-metal saw.
Made sure my cut in the top flange was straight and just followed through from there.
I cleaned it up with an old worn out flapper wheel for a nice smooth finish. The cut was really clean but there were a few burrs that needed to be cleaned up, don't need anything extra to snag my finger on and catch tetanus lol.

Rear frame rails naturally painted themselves. Been raining here a lot lately.
Well the loved cell should go great with your loved truck.

Planning on hitting Erie, CO on the way back from picking the fuel cell up in Fort Collins.
Guy in Erie has quite a few squarebodies that he is parting out. I'll be getting a 2WD metric O-ring steering box, driver side fender (mine is rusted out at the bottom where the inner fenderwell bolts in) and hopefully another set of 52" springs (said he'll check on these).
I have some doors waiting on me to pick up locally for a great price. They are electric doors but I will swap manual regulators into them. My DS door is super tweeked and the vent windows frame is broken and just flops around, currently held closed with duct tape. PS Door window is a b**ch to roll down, I think the regulator is toast.

Should fit right in lol. It looks ugly but it's just the box. He said the bladder is fine. One of the bulkhead fittings is missing but I've already priced two new ones so it's all good. For $20 it can't be beat.
Yeah, that's a no brainer. How many gallons is it?
