As you can see the truck is definitely used I did not clean anything yet. Diving right in. I should be able to make time to build brackets for the engine crossmember in the next couple days
Here is what I came up with on my lunch break at work.....overlook my lack of welding skills. But be assured it's sturdy...lol
Also I used a 7018 1 welding rod

Got the bed off, interior out and engine bay pressure washed yesterday. Anybody know a way to mount a fuel tank from a mustang. Only I'd like to use it because I just so happen to have a brand new one and the mazda one doesn't have a splash guard. And I prefer not to use a in line fuel pump

I got some on my list as well, actually started by trying to keep a list of possible donors that had 6 lug rear ends, but eventually it just became a jumbled mess of everything I came across:
VEHICLE---------------WIDTH---------------REAR END GEAR
Mazda B2200---------------58"-58.5"---------------3.9
Mazda B2600---------------58"-58.5"---------------4.1 or 3.727
