Re: Project: Old Timer...
A little bit done this weekend. Got the rack notches welded in and the front dropmember bolted in (just loose).

Re: Project: Old Timer...
I marked the center of the notches. Then measured the 4.25 from the center of the forward crossmember mounting hole. Then the 2.5 down and just held the notch up to the frame. I outlined them and marked the bottom edge of each notch. Then ran a straight edge from one side to the other and marked the front and back of each notch. Then cut them out. I used a piece of square tubing and clamped the notches to it so they'll be straight with each other (look at my other project second time around). I hope that made since to you....

Re: Project: Old Timer...
Got a little bit done today or should I say yesterday. Pressed in the lower ball joints (a lot easier than the last ones I did.) Put the a-arms, bags, and spindles on. I need to buy a rack and some conversion axles. I think I'm going to buy some rotors for now, so I can get it rolling tell I can afford big brakes (if I'm still going that route?) Got a few other things put on (see if you notice...)
I cut the rear brace out and I needed something else to go back in there... so I had this tranny crossmember that I won't be using. I cut the trans mount off and smoothed it up and it worked perfect!

Re: Project: Old Timer...
O yeah I also got a carrier bearing crossmember put in. Heres a couple more pics of it overall. Got a few more new parts to through in my stash from a fellow board member up north. Just a piece at a time.

Re: Project: Old Timer...
Naw man..... I haven't been able to work on it much. I've been pulling 12 to 17 hour days at work this past week and a half. Doing my job and then pulling some after hours work. I started a complete on a '90 chevy ext cab thats my dads.... so I have to get it done before I can do much to anything of mine.
I did take this weekend off and me and my little helper went out for just a little bit and installed my rack.... and we went to my grandpas to use a drill press to drill my spindles. Just couldn't use a hand drill... kept wanting to grab. I'll have to cut a little off the ends of the rack. I figured I'd wait tell it's rolling. I bought another spotlight. Not for sure which one I'll run. I like the size of the first spot.

Re: Project: Old Timer...
YES THEY ARE!......BUT, I'm still waiting on the fronts (I think there putting up a fight!). I'm sure he'll nip it in the bud pretty soon! I got the body and the bed mounts installed. Everything is nice as always!

Re: Project: Old Timer...
Thanks man! As far as gas tank goes...not for sure, something out back. I'll do a raised wood bed floor so I'll have room.
