Today I worked on making the adjustment arm. I welded these two together.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Then bent this little jog into the piece so it lines up correctly, then drilled a hole through both pieces and put a bolt through.

Thanks!
Today I got both the coil springs installed and then torqued the lower ball joints to spec. |

I was then able to put the wheels on and put the truck back on the ground for the first time in months.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
And since I was already outside I just decided to drill out the plastic pins and separate the collapsable steering shaft.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Well about a week ago the temperature dropped and now we're down to -10 celcius with almost one foot of snow on the ground, but I've still been making progress

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
I started with working on getting the framerail near the steering box welded back in place, so first I tacked it up

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Then I fully welded it up and ground it down smooth with a flap disk, it actually looks much nicer than the factory weld seam which can be seen to the far left

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Thanks guys, I just bundle up and go out to do what I have to do.
Just last night we got another almost 10" of snow. This is a lot more than we usually get

Re: Nik's 62 build
No pictures but today is my 17th birthday and my mom and dad surprised me with a nice set of tires for my 16" rims! I'm really excited to get them mounted and on the truck soon! I'll post some pics tomorrow when there's a little more light. I also just passed a road test and I now have my novice license, meaning I can finally drive on my own without a supervisor. So now I'm going to be trying even harder to get the truck road worthy for this spring so I can insure it and drive it!

Re: Nik's 62 build
Thanks bill, I appreciate you changing the thread name, with me now being 17 and most of the rust repaired I figured it needed a new name.

Thanks Scott, hopefully, I still have lots left to do but the list is slowly getting smaller.
