Here's what it started out like:


And here's how it is so far:
Stock 350/NV3500 with the T-case from the GMC kit. Added plug wires and air cleaner with foiled top.


Overall chassis.


Front suspension from GMC kit with mildly bent leaf springs and custom shackles, wheels and tires from AMT '81 Bronco.


Stock rear suspension with arched springs and custom shackles.


Underside so far (still need to add driveshafts, shocks, steering, and finish the exhaust)


Finally, the trailer hitch that I built for it.


Almost forgot the interior. Stock except for a scratchbuilt t-case shifter.

Looks good so far and I like how you built the trailer hitch receiver!

NICE!! I like it!
I have similar plans for a longbed extra-cab.

Look for our Article in a MCM in the future.

Looks great Jordan, Those wagon wheels remind me, when I build my Worlock I'll have to locate a set.

What issue will it be in? That's impressive news!

Not Sure yet Mark I've talked to Gregg though, it depends when I submit it for editing, which won't be too long from now.

Does “stock” interior mean finished the way it came pre-built to you? Nice to see you are getting better with the focus on that one. Nice tire choice.

Well first off this is a kit that I actually built before, and decided to rebuild. Second, as Nick alluded to, stock means how it came from the factory (plus painted factory colors). As far as focus goes, hopefully you don't mean camera focus since I don't recall having many out of focus pictures.

I took Nick's response as if he was building it. I have reread the thread and see where I should have noticed it was your (Jordan's) build by your original post, but am still confused by Nicks responses, both the first one I commented on and his subsequent post to mine.

YSIslander posts his work, TuffOne20 comments and Nick takes credit for the hitch? It ain't cool to take credit for work you didn't do...

What did I miss? To further muddy the waters Nick responds to my query.comment as if it is his build? Again, what did I miss? Why are you commenting on others work as if it is yours Nick?

Thanks for trying to clarify Jordan. As far as the focus comment, I was thinking it was Nick's post, and by comparison to Nick's usual posts, the focus was an improvement.

Mmm I see. Me and Nick are putting together a hitch building tutorial (I'm building, he's writing it up.) Course, he should have mentioned that point in his post.

Jordan I meant to Give you credit that was my mistake, although the original 5 second how to was done by me, me and Jordan are doing a much nicer "Polished" Version.

[Steve Keck]

Ah! I too was confused. Now I understand. I think.
