Wow. It's been a little bit since I updated this, huh. So here I am, looking at what to do with the rockers, and I get this crazy heavy-duty idea. Since they are going to be so long, why not run a length of 0.125" wall tube? Something like this crude drawing. I will have to figure out what diameter tube I can use to make it look right, but I think it would be good for strength. Thoughts?

I happened to come across this build thread this evening. I have been using your NP205 rebuild thread...Big thank you BTW for that one!! And decided to click on one of the other links in your sig. I think this is an amazing project!! And will be checking in regularly to see the on going progress.

The outter rocker is as strong as it needs to be already, I think it would be a waste of time.
It would also give water an extra place to collect and cause rust.

BlacklandCamper · 09-25-2013, 02:54 AM

Great build, looking forward to seeing more progress.

**67cheby** · 09-25-2013, 01:47 PM

Nice work !

A stock stamped steel rocker may be strong enough for a standard cab but I'm not thinking so for a crew cab. I personally think it is a good idea. I actually thought about something similar if I did my swap. (I'm trying to avoid a swap which means another tear down of my truck...)

BigJeff426 · 12-11-2013, 08:11 PM

Back to the truck. cleaning up the frame and the dana 60.

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-12-2013, 04:49 PM

Looks good! Enjoy the no snow.

Only when working outside off the clock.

Here's one more.

67chevy1series · 12-13-2013, 06:46 PM

Looking good! I wish I was closer to you

jbclassix · 07-04-2014, 11:35 PM

New king pins, king pin master kit, axle shaft seals, and cross over steering arm. Once we figure out M14 studs for the hubs, we'll hang this hog.

jbclassix · 07-15-2014, 11:26 AM

So one of the hold ups to getting the chassis to a roller has been studs. The rear axle is a 2006 AAM 10.5 with M14-1.5 studs, while the front is a 1982 Dana 60 with 9/16-18 studs. The original thought was to convert the front studs to metric to match the rears. Out comes the Dorman catalogue...

The 77-91 GM Dana 60 uses 610-283

Knurl 0.650"
Length 2.53125"
Shoulder 0.9375"

Closest M14 stud for the Dana 60 610-437

Knurl 0.628" (-0.022")
Length 3.0"
Shoulder 1.0"

The biggest issue I saw with this was that the Knurl Diameter was 20 thousanths smaller.

Converting the rear seems like a better choice

2002+ AAM 10.5 (14 bolt) 610-431

Knurl 0.620"
Length 3.16"
Shoulder 1.378"

Closest 9/16-18 stud for the 14 bolt 610-194

Knurl 0.621"
Length 3.53125"
Shoulder 1.3125"

One reason the rear seems to be the easier choice, is that the 610-194 is the wheel stud for GM 73-91 DRW rear axles. So, the wheel studs that came out of the DRW Dana 70HD that we took off the chassis seem like a decent choice.

Any input on this choice would be appreciated.

**71blksuper4x4** · 07-31-2014, 09:30 AM

How's the project coming?

Man, what's a better word for slow?

I don't think either of us have really had time to spare for anything this year!

We have been slowly crossing off to-do's on getting the chassis into a roller, and then we'll probably be shifting gears, I'll work on getting the sheet metal on the frame, because I will be doing all that at my house, and my brother will probably work on selling 2 of his trucks.

Next time I am down in Lancaster I will probably pick up the front and rear hubs to get them prepped for install. That's where we're stalled.

BigDaddyV · 08-01-2014, 09:30 AM

I'll go along for the ride, looks like a sweet build. Keep up the great work

jbclassix · 09-27-2014, 09:37 PM

GM Dana 70HD DRW 9/16-18 stud on the left
GM AAM 10.5 SRW M14-1.5 stud on the right

Dana 70 studs installed on 14 bolt hubs.

The help messing with my settings

Next time I am out at my brother's we should have the chassis in a roller.

04sshd · 10-02-2014, 01:53 PM

subscribed! Nice build!

jbclassix · 11-12-2014, 09:51 AM

Picked up a few more essential pieces of the puzzle this weekend

BigJeff426 · 11-21-2014, 10:22 PM

So it seems like its been awhile since we've made headway on this build. We've taken on other projects that have taken way more time than I think either of us anticipated

BigJeff426 · 11-21-2014, 10:26 PM

Both the 1ton and burb are 6.5's and I think the 1ton has permanently ended mine and my brothers relationship with the motor!!

BigJeff426 · 11-21-2014, 10:30 PM

Now we are back on track and making progress!!

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-21-2014, 11:48 PM

Looking nice! That white crew needs 2 less cylinders!

Hook it up! If I could find one for less than a kidney (hopefully with a 5 speed attached) We'll drop that 6.5 like a... well, like a 6.5.

Especially since I cant get the cab out with where the truck is sitting now.

Ryan, seriously.

BigJeff426 · 12-01-2014, 08:38 PM

More progress... next stop Ridgecrest to fit the cab!!

jbclassix · 07-02-2015, 01:43 AM

Slow slow build, but not stopped...

Got one of these made for my burb, and one for this truck.

That counts as progress

I am leaning toward using 10-32's to hold the spring on the back. I'll punch those holes when its time for that.
