Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
I cleaned the block using Gunk engine cleaner and a lot of elbow grease. After that I took a wire wheel to the block and cleaned off any surface rust and flaking paint. I then painted the block with KBS Coating Rust Seal since it withstands high heat and seals the block up from further rust. I went over the entire motor, heads and all with KBS's Fusion Etching Primer and then top coated it with their Motor Coater Chevy Orange. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Progress has been slow lately, I've been pretty busy with some other things! I dropped my rear off to get rebuilt with a Eaton posi and some new 3.73 gears. While I'm waiting to get my rear back, I managed to get my Boyd's welding tank installed today!

Man you aren't pulling any punches this old pickup is getting some top quality parts.
I can't wait for the cab repair it's my favorite part of the restoration process. |

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Been awhile since I checked this thread. Still moving right along. Is the rear dropmember a 4 link with panhard bar?

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Still moving faster than me
![]() I went with the Hobart 210MVP myself. Couldn't justify the additional cost of the Miller 211 for what I'm using it for. But I did really want the dual voltage just for the option of 220 if I need it.

If you have time, what is the measurement from wheel mounting surface to wheel mounting surface of your rear end with the rotors installed? Thanks, Mike
