Project "la sancha" 69 SWB
 

Well I purchased this truck in June of 2012 and drove it around for over a year. I finally decided to do a little work to it in September of 2013:
Porterbuilt Mild Dropmember (front & rear)
airbags
Accuair ilevel air management system
22" Coys w/Nitto 555 tires
Moser axles
Disc brakes (front & rear)

I'm keeping the original 350 engine for now and the 350 transmission, just gonna give them some love by clean them up and painting them. Here is my progress so far.

Re: Project "la sancha" 69 SWB
 

I will try and up load more tomorrow. I'm having issues up loading more than one pic at a time.

Re: Project "la sancha" 69 SWB
 

Thanks.

Re: Project "la sancha" 69 SWB
 

I assume you're going to 5 lug axles? Look forward to more progress. Keep up the good work

Re: Project "la sancha" 69 SWB
 

Yes, I'll be going to a 5x5 bolt pattern.

Porterbuilt mild dropmember.

Re: Project "la sancha" 69 SWB
 

You can load 5 pics per post.
You just have to upload pics one at a time.

Re: Project "la sancha" 69 SWB
 

That depends on what you are trying to load them from. If your like me and mostly use your iphone then you can only do one pic at a time :waah:

Nice looking build you have, can't wait to see more updates and pictures

Re: Project "la sancha" 69 SWB
 

Looks like a really clean truck to start with, is that original paint? Subscribed.

Re: Project "la sancha" 69 SWB
 

Yep, I mostly use my iphone or ipad. My kids hog up the desk top. I feel as if I have to make an appointment in order to use it. I will try and get on the computer this evening to up load more than one pic at a time. mcbassin; I wish it was original paint, but unfortunately its been painted.

Getting ready to take cab off the frame. (a few weeks ago)

Re: Project "la sancha" 69 SWB
 

Off she goes to a bigger garage to start on the body work. (Christmas week)

Re: Project "la sancha" 69 SWB
 

Cab is off, time to pull the engine.

Re: Project "la sancha" 69 SWB
 

Time to degrease and pressure wash the frame. (the last few pics I posted (4), all the work was done during the Christmas break Dec. 2013)

Re: Project "la sancha" 69 SWB
 

Got a few Christmas gifts. They arrived just in time for the holidays. Thanks to my wonderful wife. Accuair ilevel kit, 22" Coy wheels and Nitto 555 tires.

Re: Project "la sancha" 69 SWB
 

Did a little work on the rear end. Replaced the original axles with some Moser Axles. (5X5 bolt pattern) Had to try on the wheels.

Re: Project "la sancha" 69 SWB
 

Primmered and sanded the frame. Ready for some paint now.

Re: Project "la sancha" 69 SWB
