Im am working on a 85 shortbox nothing to radical yet. I have put in a 3 inch body lift that my wife bought at sale for 50 cents. I am swapping out the axles from the 10/12 bolt with 3.08 gears to D44/14bolt with 4.10 gears. The 14 bolt has been welded. Tires were junk when I got the truck so I bought a used set from Big Dog. I took the rubber mat that was in the cab out and am going to cover with Herculiner Bed liner. I also made new front and rear bumbers for the truck. I have a picture of the Jeep that I traded for the 85 and the rest are of the 85. Ill try to keep this updated with new pics as I am making progress. It will be done for Gladwin Bog.

Yes but probably not until next winter. Dont know for sure what color yet. My kids want me to paint Artic Cat green and call it the "Screaming Booger"

The Blue Blazer in the back was a buddy of mines. He sold that last year.

Well so far today I got both the front and rear axles bolted up. Just have to run hook up the brake lines front and rear. Install steering arm and put the new shafts in the front. Drive shafts front and rear and put tires on. Hopefully I will have completed pics tonight or tomorrow night. I had to stop because I had to go to a safety meeting at work. Other wise it would have been done today.
