I'm loving the headlights and parking lights! And the bumper looks awesome! You have similar off-road lights to mine, and practically in the same place!

Yea bout that....
24 years of life in NY took their toll. Truck is off the road and not in a good way. All the crossmembers from the Trans x-member back are rotted completely through on both sides of the frame so they are just resting in the C channel causing all sorts of frame twist, the gas tank to drop out, etc. In addition, all but 2 body mounts are completely rotted through and there isn't much of anything left to weld to to get by. The vibration from the swampers as well as offroading must have broke apart the last bit of what looked like solid steel holding everything together. I'm back to my 99' Sub. Financially I can't afford to do the swap right now so I've been putting in an average right around 130hrs a week between my 2 ambulance jobs trying to scrape together a large sum of money in a hurry. Haven't seen my apt in 3 weeks. So till my government savings account (AKA tax return) comes in and my hours pay off she's on life support till I can do the frame swap in its entirety
Before the frame crumbled I did do some work to it in the form of sealed beams, turn signals, NOS grille, wiring for the 12k winch and a dual battery set up with an isolator.
Sorry guys. I feel like I'm letting down the OBS preservation society. No worries though, the truck will leave my possession after they pry the title and keys from my cold, dead hands. Its just gonna be a while before you guys see any progress.
So not much to report. Talked with Steven at ORD. My springs are in and they are just finishing up machining springless arms for me. Should all be shipping soon.
Now the real news. I opened up a fortune cookie and I have good feelings about this truck's revival...
