Hey guys.
I'm still around. Its been a busy 8-10 months for me. I still have my '79 4x4 B200, and my '89 shorty.
Update(s):
The '79 is in mothballs and I'm just gonna part it out. The firewall and passenger side frame horn is so rusty its only good for its driveline, axles, the front suspension set up and what sheetmetal I can salvage.
The '89 shorty has been rock reliable. I'm getting a consistent 15mpg in it on the freeway and living in it over the past 7 months hasn't been that bad at all. I've repainted parts of it where the paints flaked off and I think my blend in's are OK.
I was going to use the '79's axles and suspension to convert my '89 to 4wd, then I found a 1985 High top Van Charger for sale and I snatched it up. It was $900 and It drove 160 miles home from purchasing it without issue. I'm going to haveto take it into plasma-cut and mig-weld surgery to replace a badly damaged driver rear corner skin, but everything else is in decent shape. Best of all ITS GOT ZERO RUST! AND I can find suspension parts for it!!!!
Things are going good! :-D
