Things always look better in pictures. Just like our old tractors. :>)

It is a 1978 model and I repainted it once in 1988. The only original parts on the truck are the cab, rear and side glasses and the box.

Everything else has been replaced at least once, one time or another. It started out as a "Big 10" 2 wheel drive and I converted it over to a 4x4 in the middle of a blizzard back around 1980 or so.

That front end is out of a '75 blazer with the Suburban 3-leaf springs and it still has the original ’75 ball joints. Still tight as can be. To get the rear end height right, I had to use lift blocks out of a dodge 4x4. :>)

Also, I converted it to diesel in '85 then back to a gas 400 small block again in '89. Prior to the diesel, it had a 454 propane engine. It now has a '95 350 Goodwrench engine and the 4L60 tranny and aluminum transfer case.

Best engine of the bunch was that old 400 small block.
