First off, is this the right part of the forum to post a "build" thread?  If not please direct me to the correct location.  thanks

I restored a '51 Pilothouse B3D truck that was my great grandfathers truck.  I seem to have a disease now, lots of old truck parts in my house, garage and at friend's sheds.  I decided a few years back I was going to take a modern powertrain and graft on a Pilothouse cab/front clip as a daily driver.  This truck will be a stretched 3 door cab flat bed stake side hauler style truck.  I've got all the old Pilothouse cabs and doors to cut apart and re-weld up to the stretched cab.  As well as all the doors I could need to make the 3rd door and fill the space behind the passenger side door.

The '94 has a fresh rebuilt tranny and about 150K on the engine.  I've been thinking that since it will all be available to work on, going thru the engine and rear end would be a good idea right now.  Before I start to tear things off, any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Plans include air ride, saddle fuel tanks, rear duals and a tip up front end like a semi for engine work.  

thanks, I look forward to keeping this thread moving over the course of the spring/summer while things start under way.

 it appears someone has been in it before and appears to have probably lost one of the housing bolts and used a longer bolt as one is spaced up about 1/2" or so.. So if possible before i remove them i would like to know what size the factory thermostat housing bolts are so i can have them when i replace it. I've found a few results online for thermostat housing bolts but nothing that is a verified fit.

Thanks.

This Jeep is a rare find, to say the least, the body is a 2001 body but I'm finding that some other parts are actually 1997 for the frame, axles, and some engine stuff. This is a special edition Rock Crawler that they only made about 1,500 only. This Jeep came with factory 32-inch tires and I've double-checked and even the speedometer is right on the money. So this isn't a hack job where someone just mounted 32-inch tires and added fender flares. This is a factory OE setup. So this is going to be a fun project. 

More to come...

I've got @Honey Badger 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee here and we started doing some serious repairs to her Jeep. What started out as cleaning the interior up and the carpet was well pretty nasty. I suggested to Mark to pull up all the seats and trim and remove the carpet so we could power wash the carpet. That option uncovered another major issue. The passenger side floor is rotten. 

While the Jeep in the state Honey Badger wants to make this her own kind of vehicle. So like in the picture above we are going to paint all the tan interior parts in a color-changing paint of blue/purple. We did a dry run last night of painting the driver-side kick panel. I had to do a bit of plastic welding on the corner of the panel then she cleaned, lightly sanded, primed, and then shot the color. Photos don't give this much justice but it looks awesome. 

So all the tan interior is going to be this new color changing blue/purple, then if you look at the exterior the factory fender flares will be painted the same color as well. Now we found a spray on paint that can be peeled off later. Has a bit of purple and metal flake but it would be a good rock chip protection. 

More to come on this project as it slowly comes to life. I've got mechanical stuff to fix like finding all the parts for the cooling system that her ex-boyfriend pulled off like the mechanical fan, fan clutch, electric fan, etc. 

Just did about 30 minutes of Google hunting and turned up nothing. 

I started checking the blower rotation it was wired backwards. Once I put the black to the black/tan and green to the blue/yellow it has awesome blower performance. A/C is nice and cold and blows air strong out the vents. Zero cost, no parts, just fix someone's crappy wiring.

Any suggestions are where to start troubleshooting would be appreciated.
