Re: 2 for 1, My son's first Square Build
Thanks dad( he posted them from work, his computer is a TON faster there)
After we got it off of the dolly, we noticed it sat alot lower on the passenger side( maybe 1 in) My dad and i found one of the leafs on the rear springs is diagonal, thus relieving the pressure it would be applying making the truck sit lower on that side. when i get a flip kit i will fix that in the process of installing the flip kit. First, the grill guard is coming off. then im going to tear out all of the soft stuff in the interior since i wont be driving it for a while. Any other suggestions. Oh, anoher thing, the cab corners aren't that bad. Any other suggestions? Korbin

Re: 2 for 1, My son's first Square Build
that is a awesome truck actually looks like it cleaned up pretty nicely after the wash. i started my project when i was 17 in my backyard and i am now 19. its great getting to drive around in a classic truck and being able to say to someone that no i didnt buy that, i built/restored it. you will have fun!

Re: 2 for 1, My son's first Square Build
She cleaned up nice. Makes me want to start the father/son project with my son. But he is only 18 months now so we may wait a little longer.

Re: 2 for 1, My son's first Square Build
Well we got some work done on it, mostly disassembly. This was done about 10 days ago, we are just now getting to posting pictures. We have been busy and Korbin is running Cross Country at school, he has to be at school at 6am for workouts.
We got the motor and trans out and the brush guard removed. Here are some pictures, sorry about the quality, they are from my cell phone... ![]() after getting the trans out, we pulled the two apart and found a problem. Mr. Kilgore said he never heard it make any noise... ![]() ![]() it came off with just a tap of a hammer.... Here is a small friend we found while cleaning the truck at the car wash. She is about 4" in diameter... ![]() Korbin also got the seat and carpet out this past Sunday.

Re: 2 for 1, My son's first Square Build
Possibly. May not be as bad as originally thought.

Re: 2 for 1, My son's first Square Build
I need to subscribe to this one. I've got the same plans with my son next year, so I'm glad to see this type of story.
Good luck, Korbin! By the way guys, is it just me or do you all hear a kid's voice when reading Korbin's posts? ![]() This is gonna be a great build thread!

Re: 2 for 1, My son's first Square Build

Nice progress!! Why didn't you put the spider to work? It is big enough to tote a wrench.

Re: 2 for 1, My son's first Square Build
Thanks guys, Korbin is not feeling good today so no posts from him.
As for the broken flex plate, we have always planned to put another engine in it anyways. I am going to tear it down to see what else could be wrong out of curiosity... I may look for a 5.3/4l60 combo...we have a few years to decide that....

Re: 2 for 1, My son's first Square Build
Looks like a great start. You will love driving an old turck that you and your dad built it will be some of your best memories enjoy I will be looking forward to the build. I did the same thing with my dad when I was 13.
