i'm doing the 14 bolt conversion on the rear , the front disc brake conversion on the front, the power steering and putting hydro boost on it as well, i got it all off a 1987 1 ton truck that i bought for $600. there was a new p/s gear box put on , new tie rods , idler arm , pittman arm , centerlink , new booster hoses, a new p/s pump, new brakes up front and calipers , i scored big time getting that chassis. and i'll scrap the frame and get some money back. NICE.

I installed my sway bar today. I used the dropped mounts since the front of my truck is low. I ran into no issues on the installation. Everything went smooth just like discussed on the board. My bar is the 1 1/16' off of a 1984 c-10.

I don't get to work on my truck today as we have friends coming over, but I get to show it off and talk about it a little. I opened the door and remembered I got the 64 Utah plates for it. I figure since they're green and it's St. Patrick's Day, I'll post a picture.

Drove mine for the first time with the new rear axle. Everything seems to be working properly so far, but I've just had it around town. I also picked up a sweet step bumper that was originally on a railroad truck. I'll get pics of the bumper tomorrow for you.

Cleaned the shop and decided to remove the inner portion of the hood to sand blast it and rust proof. Plus, it'll make welding in the patch panel easier.

I cut a hole in it. :)

Then spent awhile fitting up the new panel. If I make it over to the shop tomorrow, I'll start welding it in.

Spent about 1.5 hours with the wire wheel on the firewall, rest of the day sand blasting parts.

Ripped out the blown engine today. Next it's time to clean up the firewall and the frame and get them ready to repaint. Looks like I'll be buying some more wire wheels!

I've got a rebuilt cluster coming next week. I was about to restore mine, but I found a guy in Las Vegas that gave me a great deal. Works out good, since I have so much to do to the truck by June.
