trailing arms are painted and installed with new bushings. Got the rear end sitting about in place to mount. Plan is to get all reinstalled and aligned, new tires and then sometime take the bed off to finish cleaning the frame etc.

Hubscrub · 09-13-2011, 10:03 PM

Got the rear in today with ratchet straps holding it up. installed some of the trac bar pieces. Also painted the spring cups.

oldblue1968chevy · 09-13-2011, 11:08 PM

Mrs hubscrub should be cruising safely now

Everything looks alot better nate!

Hubscrub · 09-14-2011, 06:45 PM

Got the springs mounted, shocks bolted down and the trac bar loosely mounted. Need to center the rearend to finish trac bar and brake line. (i'll be glad) I will paint the rear and such at a later time i got to get this thing going!!!!!

oldblue1968chevy · 09-14-2011, 10:45 PM

Lookin' good lookin' great!

Hubscrub · 09-17-2011, 04:50 PM

progress... OK got everything buttoned up (i think) finished trac bar tried my best to center the rear. Went to put on the rear hose and broke the hard line end off was rusted on the hose so i went to the parts store and bought some new line and replaced from the front cross member back and the rear end lines too. I used the pre made lines to the closest length they had so it's not pretty as factory but it works and is new and SAFE. (who is gonna see it anyways?)

bled brakes installed wheels and backed it out!!! Now i got to tackle and loose connection in the ing. switch PO has butt connected wires back there

wiggle the switch barely and truck will shut off. also get an alignment and tires.

You need to get the upper trim installed on the lemon truck! What time are you guys gonna get there and is there a 'good' place to park or what? Save me a motorcycle sized spot if you get there first this time

I'm gonna try to get it there the biggest hurdle will be finding the time to get an alignment.
