Looks like the truck took the main hit from the Drivers front corner. The doors look ok along with the main supports between the front and rear doors. To make things easier it would probably be best to replace the firewall and windshield frame--I think once those two items are done the roof could be straitened back to fit the body correctly. Would be interesting to see what frame damage was ...

The only thing I see that could cause that would be severe
articulation. Both ends of the axle must have been stuffed at one point with the other end slack. If the sway bar is too stiff it could then collapse the link on the stuffed end?? As for future problems... if the links are weaker than the sway bar they would bend and straighten as the axle articulates - eventually breaking the link ...

No more excuses. Three years this truck has been sitting in a heated garage waiting for me to start. I've planned, made lists, made drawings and planned some more. I have built this truck several times in my head - each time slightly different.
The basic plan....
Intended use
Daily driver and weekend softcore wheeling/camping over back roads and half decent trails. Also ...

There are some older post that address this issues. However there is always debate as to the

bolts
I buy all my bolts from a local shop. Just like factory. They gave me a book and the company makes a lot of automotive and metric
nuts and bolts. AU - VE - CO. You can order a catalog from them. I buy in bulk and it usually takes around 3 days to get here.
