Talk to a local body shop or look into your local body shop supply store. You can get them and put them on with a stud gun.

Well.. not really sure this is progress, but I put together my a arms. I may have forgotten to have the boots pressed in to the lower balljoints...crap! I need to buy new spindles since I used my others on my gold truck.

nice looking arms bro.....

[Nobaddaze]

Are those PB? they look killer

[mcboomport]

Hells yeah. They are porterbuilt. Thanks guys. The powder turned out good. I need to sell my suburban front clip. I unfortunately sold my spare bed, but I kept the cab. I'm still kicking around few ideas. I want a fuel injected setup, but don't have the cash for that yet. I have the gold one to tinker with and drive in the mean time.

Been collecting some parts. Trade my caddy rollpan for a blazer bumper, fenders and core support. Only thing left for me to get rid of is my 91 front clip. I've been trading and selling all my spare parts. I need to clean out my freaking garage, buy spindles, and start some more assembly.

I too looked for one forever 6 years ago and spent way to much on mine. I can't get rid of it. They are way easier to find now. I still love the way they look, I'm just obsessed with the round eyes now.

I think my tires are nitto 275/35x20 front and 295/35 x22 rear... I will check. I bought them about 6 years ago, so I apologize for not knowing off the top of my head.

[mcboomport]

Also got another pair of drop spindles and shocks. I used the last setup on the gold truck. I will fab up shock mounts as well.

Those seats look awesome. I wanted lowbacks like that but could never find any.

I have been watching these on Craigslist for a few months. They were a steal.. 350 bucks.

$350!! I got stupid money in my highbacks but I had to have them.

[mcboomport]

Got the console refurbished. It turned out respectable for a mid 30's year old plastic/ fiberglass mess.

I repaired a few few cracks..






I used washers and plastic welder to fill the cracked area.

A few more before..



Notice the painted in bolts...

[mcboomport]

Old hardware. New..


Finished product. I wet sanded the entire thing with red scotch brite and soap. I did a lot of scraping as well. I painted the bowtie with the gold that the truck is getting painted. I also spent a bunch of time getting the excess paint off the metal trim piece. It looks good unless you look really close. I may look for a new one.

One of the repair areas.


Not perfect, but much better..





I was missing the latch assembly, but Jeff from 73-87.com is sending me the assembly!
Rad guy!
