morrowbrds Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 well I'm starting to get the time and some extra funds to start this old project...i bought this truck about 5 years ago thinking i needed another project jeep but everything else kept taking all my jeep funds i ever had...that is until now. Its a 87 chief that was built up by the po but never finished so i got a pretty good deal back then thinking all it needed was some paint and a couple lil odds and ends. Well i fixed a couple little things on it and drove it for a summer and then the electrical issues starting showing there ugly face. i parked it in my dads building and started looking all over this site to begin working on her then life happened, i needed a new place to call home and once i bought this house the little bit of funds i had to put into the jeep turned into no funds at all haha anyways I'm ready to start now so I'm gonna start a build thread...here's some pics from sometime around when i bought it off ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glundblad Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I noticed the parking brake in the center console. What was the story behind that? Was there a reason you relocated it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
