Re: Project: Recycle
A-arms installed (temporarily).
Bags installed. Spindles installed. Calipers mounted. Shocks mounted. Brake lines (flex lines) routed. Rear housing cleaned & shot w/a quick coat o' color. Rear housing in place. Truck arms bolted up & snugged to the rear housing. Rear bags installed. Got alot done, but a bunch of it is just 'connected' (not finished) which is frustrating. I couldn't tighten the rear u-bolts (didn't have the right size wrench), still need the front a-arm bushing washers, & still need the rotors painted. The parts house was supposed to have my HD brake parts (shoes, wheel cylinders, & spring kit) but only got the shoes. I'm spent . . .....

Re: Project: Recycle
Progress looks good Scot. Crappy pics, set backs, and all aside it still looks much better than a bare frame.

Re: Project: Recycle
Truck arms tight w/pinion shims installed. Prob will swap the 3° shims for the 2.5° set.
Got the correct 'front' truck arm bolts & nylock nuts. The one's previously installed were coarse thread & barely long enough. I swapped them for some longer, fine thread bolts (I used fine thread on the TA mounts too). I got new upper a-arm nuts & got them installed. I decided to just clean & paint the existing OE washers & run them. It's not 100% tight but snugged down (waiting to set it on the ground under weight before final tightening). I then went to snug up the lower a-arm hardware & realized the bushing 'sleeves' were too long. A quick text to Mr. Porter confirmed they're trim to fit so I took care of that. I didn't have the correct upper shock bolts (too short) so I got longer ones & swapped them in place. Other than that, trips to Fastenall & Lowes to swap some 'un-used' hardware for different stuff I will use. I've been moving the rear HD drum set-up in & out of the truck hoping to have enough time to get them in color & swapped into place but haven't had enough time yet. Need to get the front rotors in color as well so they can be installed . ....

Re: Project: Recycle
Today I took one step back, then two forward....
A week or so ago, I had managed to scratch one of the spindles when mocking the spindle/caliper in place. It had been about 3-4 days since I had painted it so I didn't hesitate to grab the rattle can for a little touch-up. The result was the previous paint under the 'fresh' paint started bubbling up bad. Per manufacturer (VHT) recommendations, I had to let it cure for @ least 7-days before fixing the fix. Ten days later (today), I cut down the problem area w/some 320 dry paper, wiped it w/degreaser, & re-shot some color. Everything went on nice & smooth this time. You'd have a hard time figuring out where the 'repair' was (not that it can even be seen ![]() While that was going on, I covered up the other spindle & used it as a turn-table to paint the new replacement rotors. While everything was drying, I swapped the last 2 lower a-arm sleeves into place. Now all 4 bushings are 'snug' & waiting for the chassis to be on the ground for final torqing. I re-assembled the spindles to the control arms & went to install the rotors only to realize I no longer had the spindle nut hardware. After yet another trip to the parts store, the spindles/calipers/rotors are joined. I wanted to throw the wheels on for a lil' look but . . ...... no lug nuts. Lug nuts are in the dually now. Getting closer though....
