Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Progress report: I've been working on rebuilding the front end on my truck.
Took it down to an empty housing; and built it back up from there. Regeared it to 3:73s, upgraded it to the large bearing hub & spindles, larger axles, all new bearings, seals, ball joints, axle joints, new locking hub parts, brakes and paint.

Thanks, now I need to get the other side together and get the truck rolling again.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Looking good. Fender clearance seems a a bit tight for up travel. One of the reasons I clearanced my fenders for the larger tires.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
It's an optical illusion, just the angle of the picture, there's actually good clearance.
I noticed that after I posted the pic. Gary

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
I have a set of 15" rally rims but they don't fit over the rear disc brakes, so no plans on using them anytime soon.

I've been giving a bit of a push on it lately, but my back limits me as to how much I can do. Getting cortisone shots next Wednesday, hopefully that will give me some relief... Gary

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Finally got her back on all 4's and rolling again, after a few months of completely rebuilding both front & rear diffs and adding disc brakes to the rear.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Gary glad to see you have gotten back on this, it is a great looking truck. And I too suffer from lower back pain, so far I can get some relief from pills, but dr. said I should try injection or fusing nerves, not sure if I want to do either of them, I just do what I can and move on
Great progress, happy for you to do what ever you can, take care my friend and keep posting What’s left to do?

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Hey Jim,
Haven't done anything on the truck for a couple weeks. It still needs more stuff installed under the dash and all fluids put in, exhaust, then I should be about ready to try starting it. About 6 weeks ago I had a lumbar epidural shot. They inject steroids into your spinal Columb in the area of your pain. I felt pretty good for about 3 weeks then I was bent over changing marker lights in the front of my car and that was it, back to how I was before the shot. Been taking 800mg of Ibuprofen every morning to get through the day. I go back to see the Dr. at the end of the month and see what he says. I may need to get 2 vertebrae's fused in my lower back. Gary
