Why I can’t have nice trucks… She’ll go blasting down any cow path that puts her onto decent fish. At least our farm pond is only 1/4 mile from her front door… Yes, those are crappie. She’s 5’2”, you figure it out…

Second coated most of the previously done back half. Started first coat inside the frame rails.

No Hunting Purple Krylon shock paint. Should be just the right amount of 90s minitruck

PVC scraps, an extra trailer U-bolt, and the back lug on the cattlerack makes a decent painting/drying stand.

I used those racks, cut down 50%, to do the sides on Barney’s trailer. Might cut them down further on the Dodge.

Oh, that’s “Rat F*** the Wonder Truck” the most reliably unreliable truck I’ve ever owned. 1969 D100-128 going from 2wd 1/2t to 4wd 3/4t via K20/K30 Chevy axles.

Easy, very easy…
1. 4 corner leaf springs as issued, beam axle 2wd.
2. Squarebody GM f/r axles are a direct bolt in. Including the leaf springs, same width/length.
3. Replace 727 2wd tailhosing with a 4wd tailhousing. Bolt on Dodge or GM spec NP205. Add crossmember.
4. Use the driveshafts from the K20/30 donor truck.

I’m using Squarebody and gmt400 parts to add: power steering, power brakes, power windows, updated seat/shoulder belts,
