gary, sorry to hear about the back, I know from experience how that sucks, pain always stopped me in my tracks

wish you well in the coming months, hope you don't get a lot of snow

truck is still one of my favorites!!!!

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

Thanks Jim !

My back is doing much better now, but it sure did set me back for a bit, everything fell behind.

I did a few little things on the truck, installed seat belts, rebuilt my vent windows and installed a vapor canister & vent lines. But that's about it.

glad to hear, progress is progress, mine is stuck in electrical harness prison for 4-8 weeks

So it's been a while since any up-dates, it's small but it's progress !
Totally rebuilt my wing windows over this past winter and finally got one installed & the window regulator, rubber/ felt sweeps & glass. Also tried 3 different door gaskets trying to get something that would allow me to shut the doors without slamming them. ( Dodge Dakota push-on, new Precisions mitered push-ons, and soft seal glue-on ) New precision mitered push-on I can't use, I had to slam the door double handed to get them to close ! Dodge Dakota not bad ( and are on it now ). Soft Seal glue on worked great ( Taped on for trial ) If the Dakota ones break in a bit more I'll leave them on.

Looking good.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

Thanks !

You get any projects going on ?

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

You should call me sometime.

17 projects :D

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

So here I am once again, home recuperating from surgery ( distal bicep tendon repair ) tore it off the bone. I'm about 4 weeks post surgery and getting board as heck !!! So I'm feeling a bit better, and have all these NOS parts I've been collecting, so what better way to spend some time than putting them on the truck !

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

Nice looking tail! Sorry you’re hurt again, hopefully heal quickly and get a few things done on your truck

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

was your truck setup for the aluminum trim around the tail lights or did you add it. I'm nervous about drilling holes in my truck after paint to install the trim.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

No it wasn’t , the bedsides are new aftermarket and they don’t come predrilled. I gave the body shop the assembly manual and they drilled it. That way they had to do the worrying not me.... lol !

and yes.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

Nice ! Is that Todd's old blazer ?

I'm just getting back to work, was out for two and a half months recuperating from surgery on my arm. I tore the bicep tendon off of my forearm and they had to reattach it.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

Yes

How the heck did you do that?

Happy to come by for a bit, if you have time?

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

Lifting a peace of pipe at work and it hit something, stopping it abruptly and putting all the force on my bicep muscle & tendon, tearing the tendon from the bone. They drilled a hole through the bone and screwed the tendon back into it.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

glad your back on your feet, so to speak, there go the alarms at the airport! any more updates yet? Truck looks great, just got mine running, so, I'm onto safety stuff like brakes

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

I'll find out abut the alarms on Tuesday... LOL

I installed dome & cargo lights and wiring a couple weeks back. I also ordered the rear disc brake brackets from Captain Fab for the D52 calipers, I'll be installing the eldorado calipers with the e-brake. I have a set of his comaro brackets but don't like the e-brake cable setup. That;s about it for now !

Gary

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

Sorry you didn't like the Camaro set up I gave you.

I am not a fan of El Dorado calipers. I have been doing late model disk brakes, with the parking brake in the drum of the rotor. I have those if you like?

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

It's not an issue, I'm just very particular about what I want on my truck. What was fine a few yrs back has change know for me just by looking at other people's threads and seeing new products. I can do the elderado calipers and utilize the factory emergency brake cable brackets and it appears more stock.
Just fits my wants better.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

Gary, any progress updates on the build?

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

It's been about 2 yrs since I've touched the truck until a few weeks ago. I started with cleaning the garage so I could get to the truck and find my tools. I completed the rear disc brake conversion and I'm currently working on going through the front end completely.
Phone won't let me upload any pictures, on vacation right now. I'll see if I can when I get home.
