Been a while from my last post busy working and playing. Bought a new mill lath machine to make some part for my truck. push rod for the hydraulic clutch. also bought a new 2o ton press and attachment to bend metal.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
The only issue with the Swag adapter is the bend radius is large. they make an attachment that will make a tighter bend radius that I'm going to look into.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
Going slow on the truck these days. Scratched the left bed side really pissed me off. just not enough room to move around the truck in the garage. I need a bigger shop but no room to expand.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
Well its been along time sense I have posted on my blog. Trying to work on the truck in a small 2 car garage just ain't working and I have out grown it so I am moving to new house in Calaveras county still in California. the good news is the new house is twice the size as my other house and the garage X2 is 3 times the size and it has a car lift in one stall. I will be moving in about 30 days. Can't wait to get working on the truck again.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
Congratulations on the new home. Good to see you may be moving forward again soon. I know how it is working in a two car garage. It has its challenges. Will make do myself until my mother in law has left us, love her to death and would never leave her. While my wife and I were born and raised in Ca, both my wife and I cannot see a reason to stay in Ca for the next move.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
I have been moving truck loads of stuff to the house the last 2 months. rented a 24' box truck for the big move and it was to small. 2 week later rented a 15' box truck and filled it. still have sever pickup truck loads to go. 28 years of living I collecting stuff. I wish it was done now I would like to get back on the truck project.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
Very nice new place! I dislike moving. That's when you truly find out how much stuff have.
