Well, I have at this point installed everything in the front end aside from the new Tie rod ends. (This saturdays project)
Here is where the 2-1/2" Drop spindles, 2" drop springs, and 5" rear drop springs let her finally sit. I am hoping the front will settle just a bit more after driving it a bit.
So far I have accomplished:
Shortened chassis to SWB
Added new frame rail section to rear (P.O. cut off too much)
Rear shocks
rear springs
rear brake lines
Shortened 1 pc S10 drive shaft, balanced and conversion U-joint
Modified cross member to accommodate the 1 pc drive shaft
T5 5 spd swap
Modified e-brake cross member for clearance of T5 trans
Clutch set
Drop spindles
Ball joints (upper and lower)
Front springs
front shocks
Disc brakes
New bearings, seals, etc.
New fuel tank
rebuilt carburetor
Installed Power brake booster (with Captain fab booster mount)
To do:
Install new E-brake cables (SWB brand new from In-lint tube) (Screw them by the way!) Ill tell that story in a bit.
New fuel line from tank to pump, and pump to carb.
New fuel filters
New fuel pump
Tie rod ends
Proportioning valve
Brake lines (front)
Bleed brakes
Install tail lights in fenders
Random other "to-do's"
Gauges
Heater motor
Radio
Check headlight wiring (one dim headlight)
install a bed floor
Tune up
Trans tail shaft seal (should have already done it but....)
Find a place to connect the crank case breather tube on my new air cleaner
Electric choke (make it work)
