    Welcome to the forum Michigander.

    It looks like you will fit right in here nicely. It also sounds like you have some good tools.

    Very nice! I've sold several just like that (without the conversion though)
    I used to work for a small dealership that specialized in 3/4 and 1 ton trucks...imported many of them from out west and the south...sold like hotcakes!

    I bought this truck in 2013 from my cousin who lives in Washington State. When I first bought it, I had a couple people knock on my door asking if it was for sale. I started putting it in the garage ever since. It is not going anywhere if I can help it!

    Do I see a coil spring hiding in there? :binoculars::thumbs:
    Stock axle, or did the SD swap? (hubs/wheels look like stock 60)
    Have any under hood pics? Was it a gasser, or PS in stock form?

    Very good eye there brenndatomu!
    Original 1 ton axles. My buddy and I designed a coil over setup for the front Dana 60. I copied some of it off the superduty kit. They are Fox 10" adjustable coil overs. Sits the same as a reverse shackle kit (leveling kit) Rides so much better than the front leaf springs! Truck had a 351. Now has a '97 12 valve cummins. I put a diesel cluster in it, everything works including the factory tach. Air Conditioning too!

    Not the best engine picture, turbo isn't installed. Back in 17/18 when I was working on it.
