It's been a long while since I've been on here and I see the site has really grown since then. I still have my 88 b2200 but haven't touched it since middle of 05. I rebuilt the motor and drove it for about 1000 miles, pulled it in the garage one day to change the oil one day and well that's where it all ended. Started on other projects and it got put on the back burner
I had to make a decision a few weeks ago to either sell it or finish it and I'm going to step up and finally finish it. Was going to do an all out show truck but now I'm just going for a simple build I can drive around and enjoy. Truck has been stored outside but covered about an hour away at my parents house and the bed I spent like 8- hours on with the caddi tail lights hasn't held up too well being in the weather so it's getting scrapped. I picked up another bed and a pair of nice doors last weekend and I'm on a roll again. I'm finishing up building an 81 yamaha xs650 bobber right now and when that's done the truck it finally coming back home.
Truck still has a half mounted suicide doors 4 link and bags in the rear but I never bagged the front. I have all the lines, gauges, solenoids, brackets, tank 99% of the stuff I need to finish it sitting right here in my garage I just need to find time and do it. Taking an extra set of axles and hubs to the machine shop next week to have them re-drilled for the navigator wheels. Hope to be driving it by the end of summer!

I talked to an axle shop last week and ask him what he would do and he said re drill the hubs and axles. I have an extra set sitting in my garage and he only wanted $120 to do the work. If I ever want to go back to the mazda pattern I'll either move the studs back to the other holes or swap the hubs and axles back over.
