Re: Project: "Home Grown"
Was wondering why you had not posted in awhile, sorry about the illness. Hope your feeling alot better. Chassis looks great with everything bolted together. That's one question I have, with everything bolted together is there going to be a problem with twisting of frame, or going out of square??.....Jim

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
Got a little bit of work done today on the ol girl. Sandblasted and repainted the steering box, idler, & pitman. Got that installed.
Installed the front shocks, installed the upper half of the rear shocks, I still have to have the lower shock mount bar re powdered, it has some blem's that aren't acceptable. Got the air bag line ran a lil cleaner and on the schrader's so I can air it up and have it level. Tried mocking up the rear fuel tank, not sure exactly how its supposed to go in, have to do some research but it appears that the tank will mount to the bottom of the chassis on the outside of the chassis. That's about it, check the pix yo ! |

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
Im getting ready to get my next big project in line and thats going to be tackling the cab.
- Install PB Firewall Heater delete plate - Fill upper gutter on firewall - Install new lower A pillar patch panels - Install new Rocker Panels - Install new cab corner Which leads me to my question, how many of you have installed door popper assemblies for shaved handles. I am planning to order bear claw latches with weld in plates to do it right the first time. When using this do I still need a popper? Are they a PITA to weld in? Thanks |

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
So just leave the originals and install solenoids and poppers? Thats cheaper for me anyhow.

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
well in that case my opinion would be that the bearclaws would probably work better, just because of how they are designed and i think you can buy the bearclaws with the solenoids for popping the doors built in ..maybe Autoloc ??

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
I say DO NOT buy the Autolock stuff, it isn't worth crap. I had to take out a pair on a 47 Ford, and replace with good USA made bearclaw set. Will try and find the supplier of the good ones.
