I think once powder coated the install will run a few days with everything, new bushings, joints, steering and cleaning everything up

*vegaschevy* · 10-16-2009, 06:54 PM

Well I have officially licensed, registered and switched title on my truck.

now she can be driven although I have a few more kinks to work out.

working on the carb a bit to fine tune it and the float bowl gasket started leaking on the float height adjustment screw. GRRRR

Going to find one tomorrow so I can get to driving this beast around....

*highperf4x4* · 10-16-2009, 09:01 PM

awesome. good to hear you got it all legally yours especially since you already had so much time invested in it!

tell me again why you call it "not4sle"?

*vegaschevy* · 10-17-2009, 06:50 PM

I picked up new arm rest pads, a real gas cap, peep mirror, new interior door handles and window cranks, 67-70 front bumper and front bumper mounts and i think thats about it this morning.

the truck is getting to look more and more like a truck.

VA72C10 · 10-17-2009, 07:18 PM

Cool...looking forward to pictures when you can post them

big_al_71 · 10-17-2009, 09:57 PM

Oh yes!!! Going static for now... but I might bar it later... Porters parts are top notch thats for sure.

*vegaschevy* · 10-20-2009, 01:35 AM

picking up the powdered pieces tomorrow and my spindles should be here tomorrow as well.

Tomorrow when I get off work I am going to try and take some pics of a steering set up I have that is brand new, I want to see if it is for a disc brake set up or not. I am pretty sure all disc brake front ends are the same on the se trucks. Maybe someone can identify it for me.

I go hunting on the 6th of November through the 12th so I am hoping to get the suspension done before then but it is doubtful.

I have the complete new steering assembly, springs, shocks, and the porter stuff to go on. AS well as new upper and lower ball joints, and cross shafts for the a arms.

recommend anything else to replace when doing the suspension?

VA72C10 · 10-20-2009, 01:56 AM

I'm getting ready to do mine. The only thing I don't see listed are brake lines and tie rods/tie rod adjusters and the idler arm. My truck drove and tracked decently, but not that tight of steering. After taking off those parts I realized why because of how loose and/or worn those parts were. With everything else you're doing those should probably be addressed as well. (and will be the cheapest things you've bought so far

)

Also, the lower U-bolts that hold the lower control arms on...check them out, but most guys here replace them and upgrade at the same time to 9/16 U-bolts. napa has them for like $9/pr.
