    Figured I would update this with some interior pictures. everything you see is all original except the radio and little center console on the front seat. 3rd row seat is in storage. I acquired the 413 from my buddy and the engine dyno shows 495hp and 515tq. Putting a holley Multi port Injection setup on it and hope to have it all done by the end of the year. When these tires go bald, the plan is maybe 2"-4" lift and just wider tires. I found some factory OEM "Alcola" 6 hole wheels and have polished them up. If I don't like them, I may just have these wheels blasted and powder coated white again....but need a 15x8 for the tire I want.

          That is beautiful and seeing it brings back good memories. I went on a road trip with my grandpa in an orange one with a big block sometime in the mid 80's and had the time of my life.

                  From MI through PA for a few days and down the east coast to FL and back. We just fished, shot things, and I got to drive the golf cart while he hustled other golfers.

                    Was this the grampa that was president during the revolutionary war?

                      I have two grandpas. This is the other one.

                      Edit: The German one was a German and not a Nazi. The Nazis were a political party that he chose not to be a member of. The only thing that he hated more then socialism was communism and the Nazi party was a socialist party.

                        Very cool!

                        If you lift it 2-4", you really should go with bigger (taller) tires. They'll look way too small, otherwise. Besides, if you go with a lift and don't upsize the tires, you're not gaining any ground clearance, so what's the point?

                        Just my opinion, though. Truck is sweet regardless.

                          Well, it can improve your approach and departure angles, but yeah, the best reason for a lift is to be able to run a larger tire improving clearance for your differentials.

                          Speaking of approach angles, even with the couple inches of lift on my front end, I still dragged the front bumper coming down the back-side of Engineer Pass. No significant damage, and I don't mind bumps and bruises, that's why I have a 10y/o 4x4.

                          Not sure if you have had a chance to run the loop since moving up there, but the road has gotten pretty shitty between Engineer and Animas Forks. Enough to make me second guess running the loop clockwise, in the dark, as we had discussed. I would rather go down the shittiest parts, rather than up!

                          In a truck / SUV anyhow.. I am still game if you get some quads before next month.

                              Mine was completely stock the first year I took it up there, and it handled the loop fine. Of course I tore the shit out of it up in Hurricane Basin.. Fucked up the front and rear bumper covers, both running boards, and put some good dents on a couple of the skid plates. Cinnamon isn't nearly as rough as the back side of Engineer.. Right now anyway.
