Progress report: I've been working on rebuilding the front end on my truck.
Took it down to an empty housing; and built it back up from there.
Regeared it to 3:73s, upgraded it to the large bearing hub & spindles, larger axles, all new bearings, seals, ball joints, axle joints, new locking hub parts, brakes and paint.

More pics

**72 tigger** · 08-13-2024, 04:37 AM

Very nice!
Brand new

**CUSTOM/10** · 08-13-2024, 06:34 PM

Thanks, now I need to get the other side together and get the truck rolling again.

**Richard** · 08-14-2024, 04:22 AM

Looking good. Fender clearance seems a a bit tight for up travel. One of the reasons I clearanced my fenders for the larger tires.

**CUSTOM/10** · 08-14-2024, 02:14 PM

It's an optical illusion, just the angle of the picture, there's actually good clearance.
I noticed that after I posted the pic.

Are you going to get more traditional era rims?

**CUSTOM/10** · 08-14-2024, 07:40 PM

I have a set of 15" rally rims but they don't fit over the rear disc brakes, so no plans on using them anytime soon.

Good to see you back on this one!

Thanks...
I've been giving a bit of a push on it lately, but my back limits me as to how much I can do.
Getting cortisone shots next Wednesday, hopefully that will give me some relief...

**CUSTOM/10** · 08-25-2024, 05:06 PM

Finally got her back on all 4's and rolling again, after a few months of completely rebuilding both front & rear diffs and adding disc brakes to the rear.

**jaros44sr** · 10-04-2024, 05:41 AM

Gary glad to see you have gotten back on this, it is a great looking truck. And I too suffer from lower back pain, so far I can get some relief from pills, but dr. said I should try injection or fusing nerves, not sure if I want to do either of them, I just do what I can and move on

Great progress, happy for you to do what ever you can, take care my friend and keep posting

What’s left to do?

**CUSTOM/10** · 10-12-2024, 12:04 PM

Hey Jim,

Haven't done anything on the truck for a couple weeks. It still needs more stuff installed under the dash and all fluids put in, exhaust, then I should be about ready to try starting it.

About 6 weeks ago I had a lumbar epidural shot. They inject steroids into your spinal Columb in the area of your pain. I felt pretty good for about 3 weeks then I was bent over changing marker lights in the front of my car and that was it, back to how I was before the shot. Been taking 800mg of Ibuprofen every morning to get through the day. I go back to see the Dr. at the end of the month and see what he says. I may need to get 2 vertebrae's fused in my lower back.
