Somebody once told me about the Volvo front end, but had no pictures to show me how clean of an install it is.
Looking forward to lining up with you in Iowa.

Alan,
Alan. Brian has to drive into Wasilla for batteries. The US news media bought them all up, for taking pictures of the skeletons in Sara Palin's closet

i got batterys yesterday, in Wasilla. unfortunately we are having some Ike remnants as it has been raining really hard for 2 days now and the DSL was out all day until this morning.
lots of skeleton hunters these days for sure.

much better looking after an attack of soap and water.
bought extra spendy lithium batterys for the camera. probably another scam, only time and pics will tell.
worst spot and only thru holes. not worried i have repair panels.
only wet surface rust .wet from me spraying out all the dirt and crud.
tag on engine. has no compression left i can turn it over with 1 hand very easily.

and the 223 been rebuilt?
but that chrome grill, UHG! it just looks too gawdy
you should take that off
and when you come to SSIV bring it along, i know a guy who will take it off your hands

Brian just get it running and fix the thing you need to get it to Slick Stock 10 leave the body the way it is. Truck cleaned up real nice.

Nice find Brian, it will make a nice cruiser, and should get twice the mileage of the 4x4. Watch out though, you may enjoy driving a 2wd and put those 4x4's up for sale.

Man that thing is a real little sweetie. I agree with Tom, get the other 223 in it, get the five-speed shifting behind it, maybe King pins and disc brakes, and you are good to go for SS4. Anything else is a bonus, but you better put a lock on that grille 
Listen to me, giving someone advice on getting a truck to SS

did clean up pretty nice. still could use another good scrubbing but 99% of the moss and gunk are gone.
been repainted once over the original same color, drivers side fender has been replaced at some point, and the gearbox has been replaced with one from a 3 speed truck.
got a few other things to deal with before i start wrenching on it.
