1983 Scrambler "STUMP JUMPER". Frame off, 5.3 Conversion.

As Dain said last week, I'm feeling a little stupid today. After installing my TC shifter I realize that my last test drive was in 4wd low. So today I took a 3rd short test drive and the transmission shifts fine from 1st to 2nd but when it shifts to 3rd it's like putting it in neutral. I'm still waiting for my local Transmission guy to get a opening so he can take a look at it. It's coming together one piece at a time. :)
 
Seriously with all those pieces and parts small things are going to be overlooked

Lets don't go getting serious now. :)
I've got big and small parts all over the place that I'll be selling, trading or giving away when I'm finished, some used and some brand new.
 
No third gear... hope it's something easy. That engine cover sure looks great.
 
Been away for a few days. Your toy is "PURE AWESOMENESS" :thumbsup: :wave:

I sure hope so too but I'm prepared for the worse. Right now I just want to know what it is.

I installed the windshield frame with new hinges and the new supersoft gasket from Metro. It's the best seal I can ever remember using, it's more expensive than the rest but IMO it's worth it. I also bought the windshield and door seals from them.

It's coming together really well and you've provided a great write up with pics. Thanks.
 
New Glass installed. Stump Jumper is starting to look like a Scrambler again.
So now I am in search of two items. I need to find a set of side boards in good condition or NOS or I can just get my local cabinet shop to make me a set.
I also would like to find a nice pair of rock guards. I will be painting these black but also in good condition.
Come on guys, you haven't let me down yet.
