Thelonerifes 72 stepper

[thelonerife]

I picked one of those up and thought ''my luck it won't work''lol. I'll pick one up tomorrow.

[thelonerife]

I picked up the gasket today and I'll try to get it on soon. It looks very nice though. Its Felpro #35562T. I'll post pics. when I do the swap.

[thelonerife]

the panhard bar came in today. Maybe I'll get it and the springs on this weekend. or not.

[thelonerife]

Well I did get the springs and bar on today. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

Wow, you're brave to post something like that and then tell us you're not going to post pictures until tomorrow

[thelonerife]

Yeah I know, i 've got a before pic this morning and it got dark on me so I could't get a good after pic. I'll get one in the morning.

[tdave00]

Looking forward to the pics. Where did you pick up that trac bar?

[thelonerife]

I had to get an old before pic as I deleted the one I had by mistake. the first one is the before.

[thelonerife]

It still has a rake but not as bad now. Since I got 215s on the front its a little lower. 27'' in front and 29'' in rear. I put new shoes on the super. I went back to stock with hubcaps and whitewalls. I like the look more now.

[thelonerife]

I also put this gasket on the water neck and so far its dry.


Trai I got it off Ebay for a total of 55.00. I think I should have gotten the super track bar. But it feels good right now. We''ll see.

That's the one I used Chuck....haven't seena drip in 1000 miles so far!!!

[thelonerife]

Thanks a lot for the tip Geoff. I'm gonna get some extras to keep on hand. So far its doing great.

I cut my bumpstops off about an inch or so I'll have more travel too.

things to do now,
-front alignment
-exhaust
-change turn signal cam
-possibly do the rear shock relocators
-super track bar maybe.24''er seems to work okay right now

[thelonerife]

I got the front aligned today. So maybe my new tires won't wear out.

[tdave00]

What are the width of the wheels in the rear? 10's or 8's?

[thelonerife]

I've got 8's in the rear. 6 or 6.5's in the front. I've heard the fronts are van ralleys. all kinds at pull a part.

[5150]

what are you driving to Woody's?

[thelonerife]

I would drive the stepper if I had the exhaust done. It hangs down too low since I lowered the rear. I would drive the super but it doesn't have a good stereo and would cost more in gas. So I'll probably load up the Cavalier and bring it.

[5150]

you got a few days to get the exhaust done

Thanks Chuck. Makes me think the 10's I have in the rear are gonna be way too big for me.

[thelonerife]

Trai, depending on the back spacing, I think they would rub if they had the same as stock 8's.

Brian, I also have a pool table to redo too. among other things.

Pretty sure the backspacing is exactly the same as the 8's. Almost positive.

I got the topper painted. I still have to fix the latch and rods for the door; before and after.

[thelonerife]

I've decided to not go big block so I posted it for sale in the parts section. I took the camper shell off. I only put it on to haul a console stereo that I bought from methodtomymadness. Good thing too because it rained good on the way back.

[jojo]

I was wondering about that camper.

[thelonerife]

I know it takes away from the looks of the truck but I need to keep things dry sometimes. I won't leave it on all the time. Only when I need it.
