Re: tilly to the rescue
I see in your rendering that the front wheel is centered.
I have to ask, Are you going to center the wheel in this build? Just curious. Got me watchin everyday. |

Re: tilly to the rescue

Re: tilly to the rescue
february and half of march were pretty much miserable weather wise. rain and cold winds keep me inside and theres not much garage space around here. but there was a little happening on the utility shop truck.
the fenders were in worse shape than i hoped... the braces were gone and the lower rear sheet metal was a fiberglass matt that was breaking up. so , i opted to use some other fenders i had. they weren't a whole lot better except the braces were good. blasted, ground, cut and patch... not shown is the blasting pic cause no way would the patch be welded up with it rusty inside. now where is that blasted blasting pic... |

Re: tilly to the rescue
had a weekend that was not raining and around 50 degrees so figured it was time to disassemble the cab... tagged and bagged. i'm fairly disappointed with overall condition but its workable. lots to do.....

appreciate it man... that lift will be perfect to install a tranny in the 1-ton. got a trans jack in the trade too. thanks pal... seeing that satin black frame on your blue & white build made me want to do the same. it was beautiful and so smooth looking... but i copped out and went glossy. maybe next time. |

Re: tilly to the rescue
its early april and time for the march update.
the plan changed and it looks like my buddies cab is worse that we hoped. as murph noted it was rusty in places that don't usually get that way, even for our climate. so we opted for another cab that i had. this was better in some ways, not so much in others. a big back window conversion is going to happen, one rocker needs replacing, 3 pretty major floor patches, the tunnel has to be changed to a big hump, 1 door pillar is toast, the dash will need a radio patch... and thats just the about it (hopefully) but it still less work than on the original cab. first pic is the replacement cab after some sandblasting and scraping. next pic is the first floor patch tacked in and the third is the fix. |

Re: tilly to the rescue
Looking good Clem
I assume you received the 14 bolt trailing arm mounts? I've never seen 3.90 gears in a 14 bolt, usually 3.73 and 4.10's.

Re: tilly to the rescue
april was one of those months where it doesn't seem like much was accomplished but a lot of time was spent getting nothing done.
spent a little time on the rearend... welded the perches from the captain and the tracbar bracket on the 1985 14 bolt. which did count out to be a 4:10 gear (you were right cap). after cleaning it up, got some satin paint on it. |
