Scored a 73 front end!! I say scored because on top of the disc brakes it already has drop spindles, lowering springs, drop shocks and power steering. Can't beat it at $150.00 :metal:

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I think you can use your old front cross member with those upper and lower control arms with some vary minor modifications. That’s if you don’t have torsion bar suspension.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Yeah I can according to everything I've read, no torsion bars for me as it's going on a 64... I wasn't sure which cross member would give me the most clearance or if there is even a difference. Gonna go through it and replace bushings and ball joints while it's out but everything else is good to go, sometimes it pays to not sleep and watch craigslist haha.

Finished up the majority of the interior. Fresh paint job, seat upholstery, 5 point harnesses, carpet, shifter, steering wheel, etc... Looks like a new truck in there now.

On Saturday I ran her out to the 20th. annual Our Lady of the Lake Car show in Bay St. Louis, MS. hosted by the Misfits Cruise Club - 256 cars and trucks entered. It was just a BEAUTIFUL day. Right on the water, great weather, great view and great food. I did not place, but really don't care - way too many nicer trucks and cars.

The trees along Beach Blvd. were badly damaged by Hurricane Katrina, so the various towns and cities that make up the Gulf Coast had the trees carved into various things, the Church choose to have angles Carved.

Finally got the window fitted. Took it out and primered it thaen sprayed rubberized under coating on the areas that where bare metal from the factory.

Put it back in and glued the top seam and started welding the rest of the spot welds.

I still have to dress up the welds and finish cutting the outside panel out

After almost a year I finally got around to painting my rear bumper. Honestly might like the black better after all...

Next step is to finish up the interior paint and start reassembly.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Started it up been setting for 3 weeks.Attachment 1762516

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Got the engine and transmission pulled and old xmember dropped out, not enough time to put the new xmember in though...also tried my hand in the fauxtina paint job(all rattle can). Started with cream or black depending on where I was on the truck, then red oxy primer, then the color and wet sanded off to my liking. The body on my truck was far from perfect and my pockets aren't deep, $51.00 in paint and sanding blocks is what I have in it. Only got the doors and one fender sanded so far. Hopefully will get the rest sanded and paint logos on this week.

Finally got far enough into the wiring to install the instrument cluster. Did a quick light and high beam switch test.
