Bought and sold a few GSA items last week, so I took the opportunity of a borrowed trailer to shuffle some vehicles around as well.
My buddies soon to be offroad only Jeep
Nice M1028
Nice 87 D250, bought for parts, but after cleaning it up we realized it was too good for parts alone.
My buddies W150 I did a brake job and bearing service on

Not much rust, pretty straight overall.
The Hauler's hood took a LOT of cutting out of the under-structure to get it to clear the Intercooled radiator.
if the truck didn't already look like a hack job, it'd be embarassing.

No rubbing, even with my steering box off one spline on the pitman arm.... man I can turn left REAL well
I'm told that some W350's had 5.300" backspacing on the rims that CAME with 235/85/16's from the factory. The ones that have 215/85/16's like mine I believe only have 5.000" backspacing (so more than 1/2" less space between the duals). I used a cheapy charlie aluminum 1/2" spacer between the duals and torqued them down 5 or 6 times. I see the aluminum is slightly warped between the coins . Oh well, I read on spacers you need at least 4 or 5 full turns on the lugs, and I have 7 or 8 on there. The rears really seem to be hub centric since they are so tight to get on and off? Anyway, I will buy some nice steel ones eventually with the studs allready in them someday, but now I can think of better things to spend $400 on!

Heres a few of my Big Nasty.
Put new tires on and a home built front bumper that I have more plans for. And pic of the rear wheel spacers.
Next will be new mirriors and a headache rack built by my friend!
