Re: '51 Build w/4bt Cummins
Been a long time since I have posted on here, mainly due to being sent to Florida to work on a project. That project has since been delayed so now were back at it.
Started rebuilding the stock front axle last weekend with a Kingpin kit I found online but the kingpins themselves are stuck in the spindles and wont budge. Probably find a machine shop and have them pressed out.
Also, just ordered $3k worth of parts today, mostly from performanceonline.com, which include:
Rack and pinion power steering kit
Front power disc brake conversion kit
All new leaf springs with sway bars
I found a couple S-10 rear axles with disc brakes that measure about the right with that im going to look at this weekend. Can get them for super cheap so that's nice. Also found a guy out of Ohio that has "hundreds" of 4bt's in various conditions for sale, so once I get the truck rolling, ill probably give him a call and have one ordered. Just have to figure out what tranny I want to use.
