This is my recently acquired B2200. I traded it for an audi that I couldn't figure out what the no start condition was.
pictures as promised:
A bit of rust on the truck bed, near the exhaust
Factory aluminum wheels
engine bay, very stock with a few things I need to iron out
Bench seat, this will stick around, at least for a little while. Still might swap in some benz bucket seats
Tach cluster, missing a couple pieces but it is largely intact
missing the plastic trim piece, someone before me installed a push button ignition due to a stuck key. I gotta undo this whole mess
Needs torsion bars (previous owner removed) and overload spring, and of course a fuel system overhaul. Plans are to keep it simple, maybe install my camper shell on it and to use it as a daily until I finish with Redemption.

Looks great Mike and looks as if you have a really good starting point! I'm going to say you got the better end of the trade
In for updates Can't wait to see the Weber on there

+++! on the Nice Truck! I see it is also Battery(charger) powered.
That is a new "green energy" thing I guess.
Besides most people prefer "In"- ies instead of Audies.

Lol on the Audi joke. Just to shoot myself in the foot, the guy I traded with got it running after swapping a RELAY for the fuel pump. It does run like crap though, so it's not that simple.
For me, the Weber 38 made this truck run SOOO much smoother. I put it on, got rid of ALL the old vacuum lines (brittle, cracked, split, etc) and all the emissions stuff went BYE BYE.
For the time being, I am going to be using the adapter so I can use the stock air cleaner. The sole purpose for this is because I am too lazy to touch the exhaust until I get my 'new' header from R90Baron. I did not install the Holley fuel pressure regulator as of yet, I don't know if I am going to.
Turns out that the previous idiot whom did the customization didn't relocate the speedometer cable, its a good thing I have a spare one in my shop that I got years ago (plus the one from Redemption that I'm no longer using.) Blower motor doesn't work, need to see if its a fuse, wire, resistor, or bad blower motor.
Still need to do an oil change, the truck is blowing a TON of smoke out, white in color which would indicate moisture. The smoke doesn't really have an oily smell to it, I know it is burning SOME oil but I don't think it's burning too much. It could be some water in the fuel tank, a bunch of condensation sitting in the exhaust, or a possible blown head gasket. I do have spare head that is good, so I can just get that head ready. I also still have my bigger B2600i radiator sitting, I can put that on when I get around to that.
Compressor doesn't hold a charge, so I am going to swap that one out and refresh the rest of the AC setup, it gets hot AND humid in Georgia, so I will want that come spring.
I'm out of thoughts for now, no new pictures as of yet.

Well it rides like shit with crap tires and no torsion bars installed, but man what a difference a weber 38 makes on the otherwise stock 2.2. I went ahead and started my pair delete, will finish when I change the oil. Currently have lug nuts in 2 of the hoses, pinched and welded the pipe on the exhaust manifold closed.

Go to AutoZone (or any McParts store) and pick up 4 Honda oil pan plugs in the M14-1.50 variety and get the shortest ones they have. I used Needa Part PN 652946. These screw right into the thermactor holes and makes for a clean tube delete.
