very nice looking truck sir!

what are TJ springs?

[dantimdad]

My son and I got the front clip just about disassembled today.

We'll finish it up tomorrow and blast the cowl parts and start the smoothing process.

Next up after that, is blasting and sanding the inner fenders and core support in prep for painting.

I like the stance how's it ride? Did you change shocks? Mine seems to sit lower in the rear on the tj coils but I heard that there are different spring rates to tj coils depending on the model of jeep they came on

Finished tearing the old 230 down. Crank is clean and out. Cam is clean and out. Broke the cylinder glaze with a hone, then gave the block a good bath. Dried it off, then wiped the cylinders down with WD40.

Masked off the block for primer / base / clear.

Soaking the main caps now in parts cleaner, tomorrow I'll bolt up the timing cover and oil pan before paint.

After that I'll soak the pistons in parts cleaner and polish the crank.

It was actually yester day, but, got the interior sprayed with clear coat and the exterior has its first coat of clear. Today plan on start putting interior back together. Wish I could post some pics of the 62 chevy but have not figured that part out yet.

I plugged my new intake, applied some "bling", painted engine compartment and tried to clean everthing up the best I could. Also replaced cap/rotor, re-ran fuel line, new fuel filter ect ect. Here are a couple before and after pics.

pulled the sh!%@y buckets out with their WOOD mounts!! and test fit the bench, was supposed to be a 67-72 but the mounting bolts are nowhere near the holes

replaced my single pot master cylinder with a dual. New lines, hoses, cylinders and shoes. Nothing too thrilling, but it's what I did. ;-)

Man do I hate bleeding brakes. Do not buy the Mityvac 8500. It just doesn't work well for bleeding.

Worked on more bodywork tonight, finished cab corner and outer rocker, seam sealed amd primed, next door guts back in then only the rest of the body, haha.

If you're still having problems bleeding your brakes you might try this - providing you have the junk lying around that is. I did this on the company bucket loader and my 64 C10 & it worked great.
Cut a piece of plate that will just cover the top of your master cylinder, drill & tap a hole in the middle of the plate to 1/4" pipe thread, Clamp the plate to the master cylinder using a couple of small C clamps or light chains with long threaded bolts that will fit between the chain links & nuts and cinch down, install a small regulator & gauge with a quick connect, run an air hose from your compressor to the regulator and set the regulator to 10 PSI MAX!! Start bleeding your system but don't let the master run dry. Check it often.

I know, if you can't get your hands on all the junk needed to do this it sure doesn't help you much. But it sure makes bleeding the brakes an easy task.

lwb66, I love the black and white pic! Nice composition

[dantimdad]

I got the cowl covers all welded into one piece and started sand blasting them. I am going to cut out the cowl grill and smooth it next.

The pics turned out terrible. Will take more soon.

After smoothing I will start on the inner fenders and radiator support.

I'm new to this board and loving every minute here. Thank you to everyone for their posts, been researching ideas since deciding to get a project going. My new toy is a 65 SWB Stepper, she arrived home yesterday morning and by the next evening I went from assembled truck to partially disassembled. Pulled the bed, hood, and front fenders. Tomorrow, get the remainder of the front cap off, and gut the interior.

[64shortbox]

You're sure not wasting any time getting started!!!! Great find by the way.
