2wd To 4wd! YAY! :)
While all you folks are at work and on here, etc. I've been slowly converting my D250 to a W250, after being at Butte High all day then work haha. I still have to get the front axle, leafs, purches, and NP 205 tomorrow. My friend's dad owns a junk yard so im gettin all of that for $400 and its all in good shape. If the pics work, here's one of my 1st gens, "Kelsey." I also gutted the interior to make way for new carpet, seats, center console, and other misc. (crappy cell pics tho)

I got the axle, T-case, yesterday and i got my steering stuff today after school. I checked out the axle and T-case in auto and they look almost new inside. 3 different trucks for good parts, 1 that had a 12 valve in it, other one was a 3/4 ton with a 360 that is cut in 1/2, and for the pitman arm and all that jazz a 1/2 ton with a 318 . Sum time next week if not this weekend after work im gonna finish my job on getin the purches. i just have one bolt left but ran out of strength and determination to torch the shock so the spring and axle drop lower. haha But im using 1 ton springs out of the truck that had a 12 valve in it. The truck was a mine truck and beat pritty bad even frame wise or yes i would have just took the frame and running gear. so anyways thats wats new.

2wd To 4wd! YAY! :) update 10-9-08
Well i got the front of the leafs mounted and cross-member cut away for the diff. Workin on boxing it in to make it stronger. Had to cut out 2 rivets on the front core support cross-member where the mounts are on a 4wd version. Everything is square and not out of whack. The pic with the jack stands is where it sits now in Auto, the one with the floor jack was just a mock up. Have to cut hole in the frame for the shackle bushings then bolt it all together and steering. Get hubs and I can move it again! Then she goes on the lift to put the Tcase and drive shafts in. Also have a 4" lift on the way. And to everyone who thought it wasn't possible (my mom) I solute you! > haha
