Interior parts look dope! Can't wait to see it back together! Also, are you notched at all in the rear? Are you thinking about doing small bolt on notch to keep your bed floor or you looking into a mid height notch?

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
Haha. Tell your buddy who called BS on me that you got the pics. And yes you can be that low without a notch. But you still will hit. I just want you to worry about Bilstein smoothing your ride out. And getting the nose down. Lol!! Hit me up today about you know what haha.

The notch question. Well as UKNOWME sarcastically posted cause he had a buddy tell him I could be that low without a notch. Currently no I am not notched but I sure as hell need a notch. Badly. I have flip kit drop shackles and drop hangers. I am at 8" in the rear and I am running those little button bump stops. Between bump stops and rear axle I can get my thumb in between them. So depending on the road surface I do hit. I am not cutting or raising the bed up. Not doing that to my truck the inside of bed looks as good as the outside does. I will get a PB level 1 c notch the 2 piece setup they have. I should have already done the notch but I don't have a way to remove the bed and lift it. But I will figure it out. But I did have to buy a new angle grinder a nice azz Makita with a paddle trigger. I had to buy that to cut my new springs cause my old faithful grinder died after 10 yrs. So cutting the frame isn't a issue. Getting the bed off and not scratching it is my concern. Last edited by RodsGreen10; 06-02-2016 at 06:19 AM. |

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
I recently took my bed off to do the flip and notch. I used a 4x4 and two 2x4s with a hoist and it went very smoothly. THe only place I scratched was the face of the bed floor behind the tailgate because it touched the hoist when lifted, but you could easily use a towel to keep this from happening.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
Northern Tool, mine was about $260 with the leveler included. It's a 2 ton hoist and had really good reviews. Worked flawlessly. I was going to get the one at HF but the reviews were not so good, and it did not come with the leveler.
Your truck is killer, truly inspirational. Good luck! |

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
Oh, and I will save you a little more time. The 4x4 is exactly 6 feet long, and the side 2x4s are 4 feet long. I used a long eye bolt and drilled a hole exactly in the center of the 4x4 with a big washer and nut on the bottom. No damage to the bed, and it cost me about $20 in materials.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
The cherry picker is a great way to do it. Unfortunately I didnt have one or the room to store one. My compromise was the chain hoist and lowered it down on furniture dollies. By useing Harbor Freight discount codes I was in for about 70.00 and its all much easier to store for me.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
And then I just sat it on 4 jackstands while I did the flip and notch.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
Find somebody on the board who's close to you who wouldn't mind lending a hand. I know there are regional pages within this forum so you could find someone who could help you work on that beautiful truck. you know if i had a cherry picker, id just come up and help.
second thought, maybe i need a cherry picker.
