Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Very good! CHAOS got my axle parts blasted, and ready for primer and paint, almost. Had stuff all blasted and on a pallet ready to go, when surprise rainstorm comes thru. Got a little surface rust, but nothing we can't deal with. Parts look real good! Prep, primer and paint tommorrow! Some pic's that I could get for now!

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Parts look good! Flash rust is pretty easy to deal with. depending on what you're painting with it can help it "bite"

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Going with the orange color on my steering knuckles- just because I like it! High steer and crossover setup, it should look good!

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
John went back to work driving truck the last couple of days, so no progress on axles. That's ok, I have made more progress on them in the last two weeks than I have made on them in the last two years, so I am very happy!

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Not a lot of progress today, but some. Got the inner axle seals installed and most of the rear axle housing cleaned out and ready to go! No pic's, probably next week sometime!

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Kinda bumming here, no progress. John is working out of town, and shop is closed down for now. It won't be long and he'll be back for the fall and winter months! Working on saving up some funds for that!

A little bit of progress today. I saw John's son at the shop today, so I stopped in. They have my new Spicer axle joints installed in my front Dana60 outer axle shafts! One step closer! Yeah!!

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Looks nice HillJob! Got all the power up in my pole barn today, the beer is chilling in the new fridge right now! Just over a year and I finally got the 24'x32' K5 home almost up to speed! I'll try to get some pic's up this weekend!

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
The BUS and the JEEP are back at the shop today. Also saw John there at around 3:30, so hoping he's back and can get wrenching on my 1 ton axles!

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
No news on the axles. Been looking at custom seats, trying to decide, Corbeau-or mastercraft. Going with a full rollcage, so looking at actual height of seats. Any pic's of this area guy's? Thinking of going with Corbeau's Baja XP seats because they are a little higher than most. Also Corbeau has a dealer in Mi., no too far away from home. Anybody?

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Allright, been bored and doing inventory of my body replacement metal. Looks like I'm good to go to the welder except for this area.Passenger side rear tailgate-bedside around the tail light area. Drivers side is not so bad, I think I can save it. Does anyone repro this area? Looked around alot, and found nothing. Looks like I need a donor panel to weld in? Here's some pic's of the PO's bodywork. Any ideas guy's?

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Not on topic, but just wanted to wish everyone and thier families a HAPPY THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY! Heard from John and we had to reblast the steering knuckles, the orange paint just didn't work out. Need to press in the lower kingpin bearings and finish assembling both axles. Any ideas on the rear taillight bedside fix area?

Not much new here, but Santa did deliver a new waterproof/indoor-outdoor cover for the K5! Picked it up new for less than $50.00 on e-bay!

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Thank's for the tip Hill! Looked, and looked, and looked. I really need the tailight sections of the rear quarter panels to weld in. Found on e-bay, the goodmark tailight panel patch 30" high x 9 1/2 " long. That would work for me, but they only list the drivers side panel. Also went to Goodmarks site, and same thing, no passenger side patch panel for that side. I would buy both sides if I could find them. If I could find those patch panels, I think I could save the rest of my outer bedsides with some massaging! Anybody got help here?
