quick run down.
got the ignition wired up.
Modified fit and installed trans flexplate cover
custom made and plumbed titanium tranny cooler lines and mounted cooler
filled the trans and transfer case
installed front and rear drive shafts
installed and adjust new shifter for the trans
mounted bed and made front bed mounts
pictures to follow

Looks killer! 
Magdalena is her name huh?
I don"t know she looks like a Magdalena-lynn to me.
I swear I made sweet love to your truck more than once.

Fuel tank plumbed need to mount the tank permanently still and put a cover over it. But I'm happy so far.
What was wrong with the red fuel tank? 
any shots from the side to show the whole "short" bed? lovin this build!
I snapped this one real quick since its still in the garage but you can get the idea
Wondering how long the bed ended up being looks about 5' ?
Just about. I cut 11" out of the bed. In front of the wheel well.
I Like It!!
Very interesting mods!
Looks great!
One of those rigs that people will need to do a double take on, to figure out what's different.
Well done!

Thanks a lot that's a huge compliment. I'm very happy with the turn out so far
Awesome. Looking forward to more pics of the "finished product".
Got a little more work done. Clocked the rear spring perches so my drive shaft angle is right for my rear CV. And Inboarded the shocks after doing alittle bit of research I wanted the shocks to help fight axle wrap as best as possible. So I came up with welding some 9/16" bolts into some 2"x1/4" angle and welded them to the front of the axle tube. It's. try it to see how it works kinda thing.
looks kewl.
Did you cycle the suspension to make sure you have enough travel?
I was wondering if you would have to get different length shocks for the inboard to function properly.

Optimally I need 12" shocks instead of 14" but I have enough up travel
Do you have plans this weekend?
