After sitting in a field in Pierce, Nebraska since 1975 or so I got the drivers door opened today. Cleaned out under the seat. PB Blasted the lug-nuts, seat bracket bolts, shift linkage and radiator support bolts.

No pics but we put a new steering gear on it today. Fun stuff there. The kid polished up the air cleaner assembly. New plugs, belts, and hoses. Next up is a new set of seat belts with shoulder harnesses and new door weatherstripping.:metal:

Thanks, Elliot... :D

Most of my friends live outside California.... In Free states.
So, I've been labeled a Commiefornian.

One time, in Pismo Beach, a Park Ranger began to argue with me...
He said, and I quote: "This ain't Liberal-A$$, Sacramento!"
He didnt even know I was from Sacramento!

(I AM NOT A LIBERAL... To be clear.)

Thus, I'm from "The Liberal Capitol of Commiefornia."

Nice looking truck 67slider!

Heres the pics of my progress so far on the front suspension upgrade. This has taken me considerably longer than anticipated.... I got the driver front upper stripped, primered and painted today. I got the lower out on the driver side as well. I got it dissasembled and half way stripped. I should have it primered and painted tomorrow in hopes of finishing up the driver side. Here are some progress pics so far.

Over the last few weeks I have spent a little time with the wifey tearing down my '70. We removed all the interior... Shag carpet and all:metal:. Took out the finder wells, polished the grill, put four tires on it that hold air and a few other things. The rust is as expected for these trucks. However the PO hacked up the tunnel pretty bad putting a floor shifter in it. In the late '70's or early '80 he did a lot of really crappy body work on it. The truck was apparently road hard and put up wet... Also found that it had a 5th wheel mount in the bed after cleaning out all the leaves. The truck sat under a grove of trees since 1986 until this July.

Found out my quadajet is unusable. I managed to get the secondary needle bracket bent back to where it should be, but found one main needle is bent, and the other is broken. Good news is I have a good carb lined up, just need to collect it.
Found a set of headers for cheap, slightly used, going to clean them up and paint them. I figure headers, carb, and an intake will be enough until I can build the engine I want.

Also managed to get under the rear end and found a tag bolted to the diff cover. It says my Dana 60 has 4.10:1 gears. :-)

Replaced the cracked and broken steering wheel. New wheel came from a Jeep Wrangler Laredo in the pick and pull yard. Had the same mounting pattern so an easy swap. I replaced the Jeep emblem with a carbon fiber button I made.

I bought a GM door handle from a guy on here. Didn't really need it but I told him I'd buy it and I like to do what I say I will.

It's gotta be better than that repro on there now! LOL
