New shocks. Don't fit either front or rear. Fully extended don't reach shock post. Suppose to be replacements.

Now for a surprise.

More updates and a suprise.

That's about what they go for.

got some. ouch my wallet

Identification number of the trucks body as made by brill. I'm going to go thru the plates and look for the L number if it had one. A lot did not as it was a special run.

Wire wheeled the loose rust off the used Rustoleum rust converter on it. then semi gloss black. Getting front ready to hang motor. Get paint on it to make stuff later easier to do. Hope to have 3rd members back in axles next weekend as well as redone xfer case. Then back on frame.

Like to find out where my R2 was stationed. History on it's military career. Oneida # 238-238

More pics on slow progress.

Thanks. It looked like a lot of people use stock. I was thinking when front axle drops down off road or rough terrain. Shocks would over extend and blow out.

She's fighting this every step of the way. 4 hours today just to get hubs off front axle .

The shock on my R2 are shot. I'll need stock replacements for the rear. But, since I'm doing a 4BT. The front springs will be re-arched up 3 inches and at least 3 leaves added. I'll need longer shocks to work the new travel distance. Any recommendations?

Looks like this now. Soon... Soon

SOLD

Truck is closer to transplant. Only a couple of more things to remove for reconditioning. Then put it all back in.
