Re: Project: "Home Grown"
Well, just about finished the tear down on the truck this weekend with the exception of the Rt & Lt A Arm assy's, and the rear end. Had the little man on the scene, doing work !

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
Both frame rails are completely separated from each other now, ready to be repaired in a few areas before heading to powder coat. Crazy thing, I take it apart, i put it together, I take it apart again, I put it together, I take it apart! See a pattern here

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
So, I now have some schnazzy a arms to sell with all new cross shafts and ball joints, my new thorebecks should be here by the end of the week. I cant wait!
Ran into a major minor issue with the rear end tear down today. See the pic, looks like at some point in time the rear pinion must have came lose from the rear end yoke and started hitting the rear diff assy. Other MAJOR problem, I cant get the damn pin out to release the axles, we removed the bolt, hit it with a hammer, a bigger hammer, then an air hammer, this thing is wasted, looks like it has spun and worn out on both ends, even though the bolt was in there to keep that from happening, only solution we have come up with is to torch it out, solidifying that I need a new rear end ![]() So looks like I need a new rear end, how do I identify what gears this thing has? I took a pic of the info on the diff, someone know? |

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
Had someone come out today to take a look at my donor trucks frame, its as good as sold! YAY, now just need to off the brand new ft coils, and my front control arms.
Spoke with Nate yesterday and my tubular trailing arms are supposed to ship this week, my thorebeck arms will be here on thursday. Got some quotes on powder coating ranging from 450 all the way past 1000. Pretty sure I lined someone up about 45 minutes from here though ![]() |

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
My spindles are brand new CPP 63-70 modular s, if they weren't so damn pricey to ship I would just sell em and change, I need new tie rods too, the arms have 84 ball joints, I think the guy did have to cut one of the lowers, so I have two new uppers that bolt in and one new lower that presses in.

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
Took a little time today mocking up the bag plates, I think I will end up welding them for a cleaner look prior to powder coating the assy.
