Chucks SWB Fleetside

[thelonerife]

I got the c notch kit in the mail but I want to finish up the frontend first before I start on the rear. Still waiting on ECEs call.

I'm supposed to get something from ECE via UPS today...but am guessing its the boxing plates I ordered that were b/o... along with the spindles.

[thelonerife]

I think I'm gonna call them tomorrow and see whats up.

I went up to Southern Kentucky Classics and bought some parts and ordered my vintage air kit and a grill. I also ordered a 4/6 drop kit from ECE. The guy said the spindles are another week out.

I sold it already. I'm going to put in a stereo. I have one of those polished aluminum bezels that a board member made. it goes around the cd player faceplate.

well...hopefully its not too long as I'll probably have the rest of the frontend in place in a week and a half or so.

[thelonerife]

I've been ready. I have the arms painted and ball joints in. its holding me up as I want to finish up the front and then move to the rear. I don't like yanking and pulling nuts and bolts while its on jackstands. I got some parts painted in the meantime. I'll post pics later.

[thelonerife]

I got some of the stuff painted. I have a lot more to do too. I got the front brake lines on.

My Brother in law said he picked up the gate, Thanks.
Young Frankenstein will be hibernating over the summer while we go to the lake nearly every weekend, I'll probably wait to start a thread until then.

[68GMCCustom]

Looking good. I have to admit...I really like the look of grade8 bolts on a freshly painted black frame. I just went and bought some more for mine the other day!

[thelonerife]

No work progress but did get the first box from ECE. rearshock relocators,all 4 shocks, super track bar kit, still waiting on springs and spindles. I called and checked and got the same story. foundry is about a week away from shipping them.

[mcbassin]

Very nice paint on the parts. Must have been like Christmas getting all the parts in. Keep it up man!

[thelonerife]

Yeah they have a nice thick coat on them. I guess its powdercoating but not sure. yeah something like Christmas except all the backordered presents lol.

[thelonerife]

I got the springs delivered to the house today. Everybody knows what they look like.

[68GMCCustom]

I'm still waiting on my ECE spindles...but CPP did ship a bunch of stuff today...minus the lower control arm cross shafts. So...I couldn't put the front end together anyway.

[thelonerife]

So we're in the same boat. I have everything to do the rear, But waiting on mine too.
