I see your rocker panels are going the way of the dodo, too.

That frame patch is funny, I chuckled at it. I say funny, if I had to ride around on it I'd probably NOT be chuckling.

My earlier question still stands: is the 4x2 in decent enough shape you could make that your project? I'm not sure how much of the 4x4 running gear will transfer over but I'm pretty sure everything abaft the firewall is 100% compatible, your only stumbling blocks would be making the front drive bits fit. Fit the engine and tranny and other stuff into the 4x2 and make it over as a 4x4.

Gads, that would be a big job. It sure is easy to talk about when it isn't in my driveway, I admit.
