Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Worked for a few hours this evening. Installed the steering box and steering linkage as well as the brake calipers. I plan on rolling it out into the driveway in the next few days to set the engine in, so I threw the wheels on to see how they look. I wonder how much more it will drop in the front when the motor is in?

I am grinding an X into the head and then pushing them out with a air hammer, It's just real tough under the truck with all the sheet metal in the way. Not to mention all the dust, dirt, and metal shavings. ![]()

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Yeah, I just think that changing the bed on this truck would be a shame. It's... just a cool old truck! lol

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Finished with school!! What a huge weight off my shoulders, and it opened up a bunch of time to work on the truck. Worked for a few hours tonight removing the trailing arms, track bar, and a couple more rivets in the trailing arm cross member. I also received some Lokar swag...

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Thank you! The parts are OUTSTANDING! It is easy to support a company that goes the extra mile to bring value to its stakeholders! Lokar makes quality parts in response to the needs of the consumer, in this case the 67-72 truck crowd, and we appreciate it!

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
It is back on four wheels!! After a tough battle with 12 devil spawn rivets, the trailing arm crossmember is in and the 6" drop springs and super track bar are installed. It was dark by the time I could roll it out for a pic, but I took one anyway. Check it out...
