Re: 84 Crew Cab Rebuild

Just alittle update no pics sadly

got new bearings for the tranny and got a new Clutch also thanks for extream fast delivery 2 days from US (Cleveland) to Denmark

I have been putting 2 and 2 togther and have come to the conclution that my truck have been damaged once in it life proberly back the late 80s before it came over seas

many of the front end parts headlights, rad support, radiator, coolent tank fenders etc
all have a something thats says like the rad support P/N 81 with yellow marker from a pen.
the left lower control arm has a plate welded on and have some strange dents in it
both frame supports for the swaybar are bend very badly to the rear and 1 have been missing the bushing and the left control arm also had a missing bushing
and the left Control Arm Shaft there is one of the big nuts on the end pressed into the shaft

the frame is not bent we have checked that but there are to VIN that have been cut into the right rail one just under the passenger row and one under the front seat both right side and they where made by 2 diffrent machines
is that normal?

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.
