Welcome to the site and hobby.
Where about in Germany is your location?.
(Also place your location in your avatar please).
As you probably know there are a lot of your countrymen on the site, And we meet a few at the War and Peace show every year here in the U.K.

Welcome from Maryland USA. Do you have most of the parts to complete? Does it currently run? Do you have any pictures of when you originally got it?

Thank you thank you guys :-D
Have bought it here in germany from a belgian guy and driven the truck just maybe 400 meters, not more.
It has 4" lift with blocks in the read, original axles and 37's.
It was rusty, durty, loud and from everywhere came oil out, means engine oil pan, tranny and the differentials.
Someone would say 'CATASTROPHE!!!', but I felt in love lol
This was in 2016.
3 years later, I'm still working on it.
But hey, good things take long.

At the moment body work, paint and rust preventions (fliud film, perma film and mike sanders) are finished.
Also the wiring is almost done.
Have some troubles with the glow card.

Bougth also a 'rebuilded' TH400. Its on the table in my garage, looks good, shaft play is in spec.
I will just install it and see, what it does :)

A new 4" rough country lift with leafs in front and rear, new shocks and dropman arm are also here.

Then i will rebuid the axles and bring everything together.

I have bought already axles from a M1008 with a detroit locker in the rear, but this is later, for the future :)

Regarding pictures, I dont have pictures before I have started to disassemble it, but check my album, there are some of them.
I will upload soon more pics as I can :)
