Re: New here, 69 long bed build
I'm gonna start by fixing the rear axle, convert it to power steering, and power brakes.

Welcome Mando. Enjoy fixing it up but enjoy it while you fix it up. You have a great truck there that will last another 44 years.

Re: New here, 69 long bed build
Welcome to you from east Arkansas. Good plan make it safe, stop and steer, then update/upgrade the suspension. The more projects you can do on it while keeping its driveability is important cause nobody likes a truck as much when it doesn't run. Jim

Re: New here, 69 long bed build
pulled my truck in the shop finally. among other things I'm doing a power steering conversion, switching the alternator to passenger side, replacing rocker panel and cab corner, putting gas tank in bed, and painting motor.

Hey Mando, way to get going on the project. Did the springs come with the deluxe kit? and what's your impression of the goods you received? Thanks for sharing, I'm getting ready to do the same.
