Re: Project: Family Heirloom

Sorry I've not updated my thread lately. Not much has been done, work has been busy, but over the course of time some things have been done.

Got the motor settled in...




All the air ride is buttoned up...




Swapped over to 97 C1500 front spindles and rear axle...


Narrowing the rear housing...


Added front shocks...








This weekend I re-did my upper control arms to accept a bolt in ball joint that actually fit the spindle. Got a little more lift out of the front this way...


Now I'm currently cutting the cab apart to replace all the rust. Once I get the body ready, Ill finish the chassis. Steering, brakes, fuel, electrical, etc. Still gotta build that wiring harness for the motor, but hopefully I'll be driving this dude after tax time lol.
