Re: Project "Just Wing It". 1970 C20 LB

After the bed was off, I noticed the panhard bar (chevy calls it a tracking bar?) had a lot of play on the axle side. I ordered new bushings, but when I finally got it off this saturday (man it was on there tight), the right side didn't have a single bushing, and it looks like someone welded washers to each end. I am in the process of cleaning it off, or will be this weekend.

I also have the rear gas tank and some fuel line to fab up, as I am moving the gas tank between the frame rails, and a new set of longtube headers from summit that I will be adding to put on some custom exhaust. No pictures of all that yet.

I was attempting to find a new panhard bar, but apparently finding the 3/4 ton bar for the eaton rear isn't as straightforward, so I'll just re-use my bar.

I did install a new rear bumper as well.



More pictures will be uploaded shortly of the progress on the rear.
