Really? Did they say what type of issues they were haveing?

LVPhotos · 11-18-2014, 10:42 AM

From my understanding they are based on Cadillac and had hardware issues and not adjusting probably. This guy build trucks has friends that builds trucks and now working at Cadillac dealer. I trust them when it comes to this. I had him check my work to make sure my old school methods still right.

sounds like i'd better do some more research before buying... i was thinking a big brake grandslam kit and a rear big brake kit with some budnik wheels..

New zinc plated Moroso pan. After fighting hex head bolts for pan clearance, I got ARP 12-point heads. Hopefully this takes care of oil leak. Stupid chrome pan!

LVPhotos · 11-20-2014, 05:17 PM

License plate box fabed, installed, wired up and all bolts final install!

LVPhotos · 12-05-2014, 04:16 PM

All down at 7 3/4". Rear up at 14 3/4" , 7" of bag travel. Limited by shocks.

LVPhotos · 12-06-2014, 10:58 PM

Nice day for a ride. Show tomorrow.

OK getting ready for Porterbuilt swap... motivation more Monday....
new arrivals... Firestone 2600s, Porterbuilt links, Flaming River manual 15 : 1 rack, dds and rod for steering. Waiting on brake master from CPP bracket from Captainfab, line lock... count down to tear down!!!

LVPhotos · 12-09-2014, 07:36 PM

Digging through photos, here is the '81 that I got the '62 as a $200 trade.

LVPhotos · 12-09-2014, 07:41 PM

More throwbacks. Jacks Dually with Jacuzzie.

LVPhotos · 12-16-2014, 11:38 PM

Another box closer to Porterbuilt install.

greg65 · 12-17-2014, 03:40 PM

Nice build. subscribed

Monte's62 · 12-17-2014, 10:18 PM

LV, good luck with the PB install. I am curious to see how much lower you will be verses the torsion bars cranked down. Your truck is a model for a lot of things I would like to do on my 62, so I'll be checking in. Good luck!!

LVPhotos · 12-18-2014, 01:14 PM

Monte, I don't have drop spindles. That might flatten the arms for alignment though. With the 225 / 70 / 15 there is only 3" till it hits. So I have to see if I really want to cut fenders.
The majority of pictures are the 235/60/15, the new tires were to get to a show I didn't make.

LVPhotos · 12-18-2014, 08:00 PM

Parts, tires, stickers, waiting on booster. Moon Eyes blue sparkle 15" wheel to stay with 60s theme. 245/45/18 on 18x8 4.5 back space. NV House of hose air line parts and as always a cool sticker. CAPTAIN FAB bracket and hydraulic cluch cylinder by Wilwood with all parts to make it work...that's service!

looks like spring splash? 97 or 98?

front wheels will tie it all up!

LVPhotos · 12-19-2014, 01:36 PM

Bam! Get to work!

62 Barnfind · 12-20-2014, 11:13 AM

I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's done. Where did you order your front suspension?

LVPhotos · 12-20-2014, 01:02 PM

Porterbuilt crossmember and arms. Firestone 2600 bags. CPP brakes and master, Captain Fab hydraulic cluch slave cylinder bracket, Flaming River manual 15:1 ratio rack and steering links from Fig Speed, American Racing Salt Flats 18x8, 4.5 back space with Nitto 555 245/45/18. Steering wheel Mooneyes Blue sparkle 15". Candy Blue Metalic powder coated.
Can't forget air fittings from Nevada House of Hose where "Happiness is a good hose job!"

duallyjams · 12-20-2014, 06:41 PM

Freaky, Funky, Funday!
Going to have to get a Beer assistant for this round of mods!

Monte's62 · 12-20-2014, 08:54 PM

Can't wait. Looking forward to these changes, especially the front wheels, and a beer assistant is always a good idea.

LVPhotos · 12-21-2014, 01:46 PM

Final count down. Some before measurements. Low is judged by stock '97 on 31s. PB says ride height is best at 5" at cab mount...-4". Bumper is 1/4" lower.
