Thanks guys, camber shim worked like a champ. NAPA did not have the rear brake hose I needed so maybe tomorrow. More plumbing....fuel and rear brakes.

JTR · 09-10-2009, 09:47 AM

Some updates. Been busy wheelin and camping but finally got something done on this rig.

Dash was hacked, here is my attempt to fix it.

Some etching primer....

Wet down the driveway and start spraying.

I got the etching primer at NAPA, it is Finish 1, and the sealer/surfacer I got from Summit Racing. It is their brand.....new paint line. Havn't put any sealer on yet. Been busy building new wheels for my Jeep.....

I really enjoy this Thread. You guys are doing some great work. Cant waite to see the finished product. What color are you going to paint it? I saw a 66 3/4 ton 4x4 the other day setting in a field near where I live and I have been meaning to stop and ask the guy if he would like to part with it. Your project is motivating me to move on that truck. Of coarse being that I have 6 projects at home already my Wife might kill me if I bring another one home. Great Job!!!

Hey, could you post some pictures of your very front leaf spring hangers? Are those home-made? They seem to line up well. Great looking truck keep up the good work!

It is a homemade crossmember, it is moved forward so I could run 73-87 front springs.

This is the only pic I have uploaded right now.

I love those trucks

Wildstreak · 01-13-2010, 07:25 PM

Yeah is was green, much like olive drab.

Finish 1
FP301

Wildstreak · 01-13-2010, 10:56 PM

well this is weird, I can find info on the stuff but cant find a listing for it anywhere. Its almost like people dont sell it anymore.

any progress on the truck as well?

JTR · 01-14-2010, 09:38 AM

Check out this link it might lead you to a vendor.

Not much progress on the truck, got the radiator in and built a bracket for the electric fan, and started plumbing the transmission. This spring I am going to paint the inside so I can wire it and get it running.

biohazardbill · 01-14-2010, 12:35 PM

Nice looking project.

Looks awesome but did you forget to take out the little rubber bumpers on the hood or was that on purpose?

JTR · 07-07-2010, 04:54 PM

They are not rubber anymore, welded in some 1/2" steel.

62 short step · 07-07-2010, 09:08 PM

Looking good! Is the whole truck going to be white?

JTR · 07-07-2010, 11:18 PM

Yeah it will white all the way through...but the windows will be dark.

NuBomb · 07-07-2010, 11:33 PM

I'm droooling. I plan on doing the same thing. Love this build. Great job.

robtech · 07-08-2010, 03:25 PM
