Re: My 1969 SWB restoration project
So. I've began again but this time, it's off to the local Hotrod shop for a complete restoration with my involvement in only sourcing parts. I thought I could find the time to do it, I simply can't, so I'm going to pay to have it done and finally enjoy it when it's done.
The plan:
- Pull the current 350/400 motor and trans and sell it. It's been restored but I'm looking for more power and better econ. I will replace it with a ZZ4 crate and a 700r4.
- pull the cab and box and send it off to the body shop for rocker replacement, minor rust repair, firewall smoothing, all new rubber, Dynomat, wood bed install, new dash pad, painted interior, carpets, door panels, head liner, recushioned seat, upholstery, new sound system, debating sunroof, New instrument panel, remove gas tank.
- the frame will be sanded and powder coated
- new brake lines, complete fabricated exhaust with H pipe, cross through trans member, all new rubber mounts
- restore front and rear suspension, worked to accommodate the new 308 Boss wheels I have. Moser posi rear end. 6 bolt Axles swapped to 5
This will be the goal in the first 3 months
Pictures coming and I will need help in sourcing parts
