My 1969 SWB restoration project
I call him 'Boise' since purchasing him 8 years ago in Boise, ID. I drove him for 4 years nearly everyday but decided to park it when rust in the rockers and cab corners started to appear, it started leaking trans fluid, power stealing fluid and I almost had a rear end collision when I had to hit the brakes hard and the drums just locked up the tires, so now it's time to bring her back to reliable, safe and pretty. I recently purchased some 4 post lifts to make the job a bit easier.
Here's the to do list: Pull the motor to reseal, clean, paint and dress up Fabricate a new exhaust system, FM or MF, X or H pipe - undecided Have the 400 trans gone through, works fine, just leaks Purchase '73+ front assy and rear axle with discs on all 4 New suspension parts front and back, shocks, mounts e.t.c New rockers, floor boards and cab corners patched New brake system, all OE New power steering pump Vintage air / heat Gas tank relocated to under bed Box removed and painted New wood in bed, flat lacquer, brushed alum strips, new mounts LED tail and side markers Interior removed and inside painted New instrument panel New gauges Bench seat recushioned and apolstered New door panels Better sound with under seat subs Sound proofed Full frame resto with POR 15 Complete paint job with different green - undecided Install new wheels and tires Enjoy This thread will be on going and I will be coming to all of you for help. TIA I give gifts for the most help ![]() Posted via Mobile Device
