This one needs to go, asking for opinions. Offering it up here first.

Also agree - I had to do all new floors in an MGB (easy relative to some vehicles - all flat panels with ribbing no curves). I'd do multiple engine swaps before doing that again and not looking forward to doing similar in a early 1980s Jeep.

Well, street unusable and illegal, and a incomplete project. May have to cut your losses and run.
BUT, selling prices are all over the map, depending on what part of the country you are in, and whether you can deliver it.

100% street legal in NC. And because it's older that 35 years it requires no inspection.

How's the paint and body on that blue truck.

What is the story? Original paint, nice paint and body restore , or a bondo wagon?

It kinda looks pretty nice but pics are deceiving.

The body and chassis are rust free and very clean. Chassis is painted. Clear coat is starting to deteriorate.

Geez I'm sure glad you live across the country from me, if you were closer, she'd be mine, oh yes.

Perhaps, but in most of the country it would be yanked off the road. Why? Because we people are tired of these poor mods used on the streets, you take out, break windshields a mile behind you, throwing rocks and such. Buy a few 2k windshields and you will get the point. While you don't have a required inspection, any cop can do a safety inspection there.
Along with this, your state law-
"The manufacturer's specified height of any passenger motor vehicle shall not be elevated or lowered, either in front or back, more than six inches by modification, alteration, or change of the physical structure of said vehicle without prior written approval of the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles."

Because we people are tired

Whos we? Maybe you and the people in Montana at best

A large part of the country have winters. Along with many miles of gravel roads. Gravel mixtures are also used on snowy and icy roads. So, yes, that kind of mods have and are being outlawed, for street, especially highway use.

Honestly that isn't the real issue. If you have appropriate sized mud flaps on it, regardless of lift, it is no better or worse than any other stock vehicle. The real problem is a 12" lift with 40" tires that stick out 6" past the fender and also have no mud flaps on it at all. Even with no lift and 30" tires you have the same problem if the wheel offset is made to stick out past the fender and most stock trucks don't come with mud flaps if they aren't an "off-road" package.

I partially agree. Is kind of a wish and dreaming that every rock or debris will just happen to fly out right at the rear, and hit the "mud flaps". Have seen many times rocks thrown out of these tires above the flaps, straight up, even forward.

Wah. Those are very common here in the southeast, not at all illegal. Dude didn't build it and said he had plans to bring it back down to a reasonable height. You can get off your high horse now.

 

[Craig Nedrow]

Big truck are the worst, but we don't outlaw them. I think just about every vehicle can throw gravel,

 

[TotalyHucked]

Yep. Every windshield I've ever had to have replaced was either due to an 18-wheeler or a normal car/truck kicking something up. Considering how little those extreme lifted trucks get driven, they're not the problem
