Looking good! Lots of progress. But one question. In this pic, you cut away a good portion of the plate.

Aren't you concerned about the axle shifting?
Not really that plate it about 10x beefier than need be th facilitate the sway bar mounts
There's 4 for sale over where my CUCV Blazer is sitting on Apple Ave in Muskegon Mi lol.

Truck looks good, are you going to keep the wheelbase as is?
For now yes

I hate you. This truck is the reason I went down memory lane and decided i needed to be looking for a square body. This thing is a beast. Does it have the military diesel in it? Wasn't sure if the PO swapped it out since they repainted it as well

finished the body lift adjusted the shifter linkage put the lights back in. Burnt some of the new header paint off ( it shook the walls with no exhaust on it)
This is it beside a suburban with a 4" lift
