    Narrow hood Get it running solid first
    Boatside Get it running solid first
    Move rear axle forewards Get it running solid first
    Rollcage

    That list isn't in order, just getting things from my head to the post. I'm not sure about selling the fenders or not yet, I have this idea in my head of running some tubing right along the bottom edge of the hood like some jeep owners have it. Looks cool in my head but I'm not sure how it would look on a rig. I'm not sure about the 360 either. It's in there now so I'll run it for a while but I don't want to have to find a whole new drivetrain for a trail rig. I know this hobby is expensive but I'm in college.

    I think you could have a lot of fun with a mild lift, Sharper's tires, good brakes and a good solid running engine. Doubler, rebuilds, etc... can be saved for after you beat the hell out of it.

    I agree. From what my grandpa has told me, the front axle was rebuilt right before it was parked so it should last a little while unless the skinny pedal and old 360 are too much for it.

    don't spend the money on a rebuild, swap in a 6.0 or a bbf.

    No, that's the International A110 that comes with the free money tree, but I didn't think that would make a good trail rig at all so I picked this one. It only comes with a free set of flat tires.

    There's no date I'm trying to finish this by, just a vision and a free truck that I'll wheel as is until money is available to upgrade it.

    Any ideas on stuff I can sell off of it (besides the bed) to make some money and stay close to $0 invested in this?
