Also, do you have a pic of the front of your motor? I need a pic showing pulley placement if you can.

Thanks!

I am using the original springs, I blasted , primed, and painted as well, I lost those pics of them being prepared.
I do not have the pulley's on yet, I will in a week or so, sorry. They are simple though, and I have them painted, and ready.

Well, here's a rolling chassis, finally! Every maintanance part has been replaced, brgs, seals, ball joints, rotors, calipers, control arm shafts & bushings, new posi rear carrier, every steel brake, & fuel line new, and clearcoated, all rear end bushings, complete park brake system new, and so on, and so on....it's a brand new chassis! Hope you like , I sure am proud!

roadracer9 · 02-23-2010, 02:49 PM

A few more chassis. I hope the Mods/admins are ok with all the pics.

Roadtacer, something I thought I'd mention.

You should remove the bolts from your upper ball joints and reinstall them the other way, with the nuts on top. The reason is that once you fill the grease boot full of grease and it pooches out, the threaded bolt ends will rub against the boots as they are now when the suspension cycles through it's range.

Most brands of ball joints have a little instruction sheet in there that warns to do it this way. I know it seems wrong, having bolts in upside down, but in this case it is right.

roadracer9 · 02-23-2010, 02:57 PM

Couple more...

You are correct sir! I just couldn't do it though, LOL ! It will never see a hundred miles probably.

roadracer9 · 02-23-2010, 03:02 PM

Oh, and I have already greased it, with juuuuust enough not to "Pooch". LOLOL!

Tx Firefighter · 02-23-2010, 03:05 PM

So you're building it just to have and keep? Not going to be a driver ?

roadracer9 · 02-23-2010, 03:17 PM

Oh I will drive it, just not as a daily. Some showing, probably sell it later on. Build something else...

roadracer9 · 02-23-2010, 03:28 PM

Transmission before, and after. High heat cleared, etc.

roadracer9 · 02-23-2010, 03:34 PM

The engine building pics were lost as well, D$#%^T ! So here's a few , I don't have many yet, haven't spent much time there yet.

roadracer9 · 02-23-2010, 03:37 PM

Some more engine...

roadracer9 · 02-23-2010, 04:11 PM

How bout some cab action?

msgross · 02-23-2010, 04:16 PM

wow, nice build.

roadracer9 · 02-23-2010, 04:19 PM

Wet sanded and buffed entire cab, inside, out, and under the floorboard. Dark olive and white. Replaced front cab supports, and rear cab corners. Rocker panels had been replaced already. Cab was sandblasted, all new seamseal, etch primmed, base coat, and six coats clear, PPG materials.

Thank You very much! As most everyone knows.....That's what it's really all about! Just that complement ! At a show, pumping gas, or on a forum such as this.

roadracer9 · 02-23-2010, 04:28 PM

Well let's get it on, get it? LOL

roadracer9 · 02-23-2010, 04:30 PM

Thought this was a cool pic, wish I had it complete in this photo.

roadracer9 · 02-23-2010, 04:34 PM

More cab on the truck...

GREASEMONKEY72 · 02-23-2010, 06:19 PM

awesome build, love seeing it go back all original

epashhans · 02-23-2010, 07:41 PM

Just curious...why so many shims on those upper control arms? Is that normal? Mine has maybe 1-3 on my 67 if I remember correctly.

epashhans · 02-23-2010, 07:42 PM

OH, and I forgot...very nice build! I can't wait to see more!

I added extra shims, so when I have it aligned, they will take shims out, that I have already clear coated, and will not add their un-cleared ones. I want this thing to look this way in 10 years, maybe.

roadracer9 · 02-23-2010, 08:13 PM

Mine also had several shims in it before disassenbly. Thanks, epashhans!
