derf Posted Wednesday at 04:54 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:54 AM There really isn't much left of this one. It was at one point a 4wd 4 cyl short bed truck. Most of it is gone. But the chassis is solid and there's not much rust. So I'll be taking parts off my mostly complete but rusted out parts donor truck. It's going to get a Renix 4.0, and I have an AX15 to go behind it. I have both an NP242 and an NP231. I'm leaning towards the 242 but haven't made up my mind. A non CAD D30 will replace the 2wd beam it's sitting on now. And I have a factory MJ Dana 44. Most likely a 3.5" lift with some 31x10.50/15 tires. And 3.55s with TrueTracs front and rear. It's going to get a full paint job since the donor parts won't match. And the paint on it is pretty well shot. Likely something close to navy blue, with the burgundy interior. As it sits now: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The H in position 4 indicates a 2.5L The S in position 8 indicates a Chief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago The more you know! Fully loaded, but with the little engine. Probably perfect for someone that lived in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
