Ill be the one to say not to put the 1st gen CTD in, go for a 2nd gen 12V instead 
Intercooled and the better P pump.

Take some scotchbrite and comet to the paint, it will even it out so that it's all faded the same color.
Then get a gladiator grill and lights on that thing. That would make it badass.

like 1/3 of the truck was spray primered and spray painted at one point. and it was slightly off color and they didnt cover all the primer, and re-primered in spots lol. its kinda a mess. i dont care too much about that though. it gives it a unique aged look along with the surface rust.
i might keep a gladiator front end kickin around so i can change it around from time to time lol. im kinda on edge on which front end i like more

I like the rat-rod look, personally.
Also the gladiator front end is badass and all J-trucks should have it.

i suppose its time to update this.
cucv dana 60 bolted right in with the exception of i need longer shocks and brake hoses. caster looks decent and it took no time at all.
the previous owner of my truck coated EVERY suspension part (that ive had to take off so far) iwith anti-seize, and i thank him for that.
I'm going to do the f250 shock mounts to get a lil longer travel shock in front (looks like ill be running 14" bilstein 7100s for now) and ill even put my airbumps on this truck
having a frame is pretty nice to work with.
the front is on 39's right now. and my hood is up to my chin. its a big truck.
rearend is ready to be chopped apart soon, bed is off of it and i think i have what i want to do back there all figured out.
2x6 box tubing slides into the c=channel frame perfectly. I'm planning on putting some in there from the point where it goes from fully boxed from the factory to the flimsy c-channel as it flexes pretty significantly.
