My little helper loves to be all over the garage climbing, touching, pulling on everything

I bought the arm rest from Classic Parts of America...

I pm jeff last week I am still waiting for a total price for a complete front and rear kit...

Your truck was really nice to begin with but I love some of the touches you're adding to it. Sometimes its funner to bite off smaller pieces rather than getting into a complete rebuild... It looks like you're having fun with it. Keep up the good work.

I always thought the limited slip rear ends were the peg legged ones and posi was twin stripes? Am I confused or am I missing something? Don't know too much about rear ends or is it open differential that is peg legged? If so what is limited slip?

*Puropedo* · 01-27-2010, 11:24 PM

Silvester keeps keeps getting better and better, great job Albert!

peg legged = open differential.......

limited slip = two pin stripes

posi = two pin stripes

Just trying to keep up !!!!

*Dylan · 01-27-2010, 11:29 PM

Ah, alright. Thanks for the info! What's the difference between a limited slip and a posi?

big_al_71 · 01-29-2010, 04:22 PM

Well the day started awesome got to drive my bucket to work, cringing with all the idiot drivers around my area but i made it to the shop safe and sound. We took the differential out, press the new bearings, set the the aurburn unit and I am ready to hit the pavement.

New axle seals and bearings everything is all new back there so I am done with this part of the project.

big_al_71 · 01-29-2010, 04:23 PM

nuke1 · 01-29-2010, 08:52 PM

Looking great Al. Alot more fun now, just remember to break it in first before you destroy it. hehe. and i agree with Hart Rod where is the burn out pics?

big_al_71 · 01-29-2010, 09:06 PM

guys,

I did do a nice rolling burn out on the back lot but was by my self so I did not get it video or picts. I will have something done for everyone to enjoy

I am waiting on my rallies that are supposed to be shipped from Texas this week and as soon as I get them I have a set of tires to go on there that I will smoke till they are done...

Deenice21 · 01-29-2010, 09:14 PM

Thats what I am hoping for CPPJEFF has posted some great deals in the suspension forum. I am going to be doing my research to do my big brake kit as this is probably the last thing I am going to do to this truck for now.

chevy88 · 01-30-2010, 09:56 AM

Nice tint on the windows, it sets your truck off even more.

72BlckButy · 01-30-2010, 01:46 PM

Al... cute helper!

What kind of weight are you planning on pulling with the truck? I've always been curious how well a 67-72 SWB would tow.

70stroker · 01-30-2010, 04:35 PM

this has always been one of my favorite trucks on this site. You for sure took it to the next level the last few weeks. Love the look with the window tint.

I remember when i went from a one wheel peel to a posi..... night and day difference.

Keep up the awesome work.

ripdog28 · 01-30-2010, 06:37 PM

Just to correct something, Limited slip is capable of leaving two stripsn not always. but a posi always does, unless turning then sometimes.

I thought you were selling it but glad your not. Still looks killer man.
