Nellie-1987 Comanche LWB 4.0 2WD Auto

[kaidenlem]

Been a member of the CC for a while and was directed to post a build thread.  I picked this 87 up about a year ago in Central Illinois with 171k, all it needed was the front grille flipped, new tires, a stereo system, wheel center caps, and a new rear bumper.  Been driving it every few days ever since.  Pretty solid besides the spray foam cab corner on the drivers side.  The plan is to repaint the factory blue color this summer.

Be sure to check under the carpet for rust! 

What are your plans for it?

spray foam sucks    it's a modern day "stuffing newspaper in there to hold up the bondo"

My dad and I used to use chicken wire or window screen to hold the bondo.  lol

are you uploading the photos straight to the CC website?  all I see are download links rather than pics.

That's what I thought I was doing, but my Apple computer isn't real good at saving JPEG as it's a weird file style for it...  I'll try doing it saved from my old beater computer
