Re: Project: Recycle
hmmm oh whell , in the netherlands it would be a good place to replace the middlepipe with electric cutouts to make the truck bark a bit harder in the tunnels ( and make the smaller car-drivers shiver behind the wheel when you come roaring past)

Re: Project: Recycle
No updates. I haven't even been in the same building as the chassis since those last pics.
I've been working a bunch of messed up hours the last couple of weeks. Add in the family stuff (birthdays), college orientation for the young-gun, the dually 'project' & the extreme heat of mid-day & progress is slow. I've been trying to get the dually back together. The front suspension rebuild is about done. I still need to get the brakes swapped, get the sway bar reconnected (waiting on poly bushings) & install the shocks (waiting on shocks). The plan was to swap in an OD upon reinstalling the drivetrain but the trans guys jammed me up by selling the last TCU they ordered in (they told me there would be 1 extra). I called Thursday am hoping all the swap parts would be there only to learn I had to wait another week. I'm @ the point of sticking the th400 back in & doing the 4l80e @ another time. I had already initiated the front end rebuild so I hustled to get that done by today (except for parts on order).

Anyhoo, latest things accomplished are: I got the OE front sway bar 'stands' removed so the bar can now be bolted directly to the frame once the drivetrain is back in place. The last item for the brakes is done (I painted the calipers last weekend). I haven't put the rotors back on yet though 'cause I was waiting for paint to dry but they're detailed (painted), turned, & ready. Shocks are in & waiting to be installed. Th400 cleaned up & ready to be attached to the motor. Trans cross-member has been modded & welded. I still want to add some gussets but that's just a couple of short welds. I've been chasing oil pan related issues but resolved that yesterday. Now I can install the oil pump, set the pick-up height, & get it tacked together so the pan installation can be completed (couldn't use the OE pan anymore because of other changes). I did some underhood detail painting. Tried the factory color on the inside portion of the front fenders but it didn't match very well @ all. It was 're-done' the next day in satin black. Still need to do the inner wheel housings. I messed around w/the brake booster yesterday & got the parts needed for some changes there. Got some different (better) rear suspension stuff but I'm waiting to get the drivetrain in before starting the lowering process there. It will definitely be a 'different' truck when said & done. Then, it's back on the 64....

Re: Project: Recycle
Should be close to 5/7 like the 74 was but a better 'driver' because of the changes implemented.

Re: Project: Recycle
No build thread for the dually even though it deserved one. Motor swap is done as is 90% of the suspension. Should be getting the extra front a-arms back today (last of the suspension mods).
Air system mounted & functional. Carpet, Boom-mat, & MLV down on the floor. Buckets & console mounted. Material ordered. Headliner done. Full stainless exhaust done. Been contemplating bigger wheels but will likely stick w/16's just to get this distraction done & out of the way.... Plan was to be off this week & knock a few things out but unexpected issue (minor foot surgery) has limited activity so far. I'm up & at it today (hope the doc isn't reading this) & pushing forward. Meanwhile, Recycle is right here full of dust & moth-balls next in line. Thanks for the interest & inquiries!
