Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Been spending most of my time lately taking the 78 apart and selling things from it but today I started to tear the suspension apart and clean it up. I got the caliper, rotor and spindle off on one side. Breaking the balljoints loose was quite a struggle but a pickle fork and gear puller used together got the job done. I then cleaned the spindle in the parts cleaner and got it looking pretty with a coat of paint .

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Did you take the master cylinder from the 78 and use it on the 62?
I just picked up a 62 parts truck today to use on my 63 build. |

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Sold the 78 today, got $300 (what I paid for it) plus 160 for some other parts I sold earlier. So free parts and money seems alright to me . Plus I can roll the 62 back out in the driveway so I can get back to work on it!

Oh and I also went to picknpull today to take advantage of their half priced weekend sale. Picked up a Swaybar for $15, not bad

Could you please weigh that for me, and get me the dimensions, outside length and width. So that I can figure if one would fit in the mail.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Man wished you lived closer I spotted some parts on the 78 I could've used. Oh well. Great progress.

Maybe one day I can head that way. I'm always hunting around here to see what pops up. Thanks.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Here is some progress from the weekend. I decided to build a short throw shifter for the t5. First thing I did was drive the pin out of the hole and drilled a new hole exactly 1" above to move the pivot point up 1". Here's a pic with the pin in the newly drilled hole

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
This is certainly a Rock n Roll build, you just keep on progressing.
Good job on the cab side.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
I think you'll like the shorter shifter throw... and nice job fixing that big dent.
