Well I did some dealing and picked this sucker up. Trade of my El Camino for it and some other stuff that I had no use for any more.
It does needs a motor dropped in to it and some other small things done as well. Not a whole lot of stuff but enough to make it a project.  Best part about it is that it's a 5 speed so it will do well foe hauling the wood from the woods to the house. 
Picked up some 32x11.50r15s for it Not the best treat but great for the winter time and to keep it from getting stuck.   
I do need to find a hitch for the front end so I can have the winch up there if needed.

The motor I am using in it is the one out of my CJ that everyone seems to like so much. I built a new motor last winter and I think it will be a little more road friendly over the old motor. But back to this truck.
But Dropping that in there with some headers that I have for this truck as well and a short drop out to the side exhaust with some cut outs.  IT needs to be quiet well in the woods but I do plain to use it for some Bogs later on.
I have a Roll bar for it as well but I dont know if it will fit in the back I think its for a Long Bed and not a Short Bed.

Shes Not pretty by any means but it is fairly clean.  Has some very very minor rust starting on it but I dont car. Its getting Painted a bright color so my Dad is seen well being out in the woods when its hunting season.

It is a alot nicer than I was looking for. But the Price was just right. Traded off a bunch of stuff that I did not need any more.
Its going to get beat up witch sucks but what ever. But I am going to enjoy building it for my Dad.

I have a feeling that he will have fun with it. I know my Dad and he wont beat on his own truck but if I tell him have fun with it he will.

Here is my Old Jeep motor. It just sitting there waiting for the clutch, Once I get that its GO TIME. Got all but the motor mounts for it and I need to see what ones I need before I drop it in there.
Motor is 350 punch .060 over with a Summit Racing  Street/Strip Cam, Summit Noise timing gears, Stock 882 heads, Edelbrock Performer Intake and Carb, and Stock HEi with MSD guts, cap and coil dropped in it.  Biggest things I need to get for it is the Serpantine Belt set up. Just for ease of repair.
