Default 87 comanche build

First off I bought the Comanche with tons of problems knowing most of them it started its life as a 2wd long bed metric ton as it sits now

4.0 with 10k on it
Aw4 with 20k
231 case
Hp d30 front 3.55 gears
C8.25 Aussie locker 3.55 gears and discs
33-12.50-15 toyo mt's
6.5" custom lift short arms
Tons of wheeling dents
Now for some pictures
First picture is how I got it second is how it sits today other than my front skid and painted rear bumper and still had the beat to crap big horns

Woooohooo!!! Great news had a friend get me a hook up. Trading a ford 8.8 axle for another Comanche this time I can build it right because well this one needs everything! Sadly it is a v6 model and that's about all I know the motor was removed already here is some pictures!
