**Dieselwrencher** · 11-17-2009, 12:29 AM

I welded the inside of the LH rail as well. Hopefully tomorrow I can get the welds finished and ground down and install the shackle mounts in the frame.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-18-2009, 05:32 PM

More progress. Yesterday I ground down the welds I did on Monday and I rewelded them. Today I put one of my leaf springs on and started preparing to install the shackles. I don't exactly like where my spring is going to put the shackle in the frame. My leaf springs are for a 73 up and are a little bit longer. I did check and the center pin is in the same location so I might just use my springs I have, but I would prefer a set of 4"ers. So now I have to make the descion to use these or find some 4" 67-72 springs.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-18-2009, 05:38 PM

I did also go buy some goodies for this truck too. Last night I picked up a rust free radiator support, decent tail gate with no large dents and one bad rust spot, new black high hump carpet, new sound deadener, used sill plates, a new glove box, a used wood grain gauge bezel, reconditioned hood springs that are zinc plated, and new heavy duty radiator mount bushings. This weekend I am getting rust free inner fenders from Brother's69C10. Hopefully by the end of the week I can get the front axle under it and get the front clip mocked up in place.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-18-2009, 06:11 PM

I forgot to add, I decided what powertrain I am going to use. It will be a 1990 5.9 cummins with a 1998 NV4500 and a NP205 from a 92 dodge. I'm still undecided on the rear end. It might get a D70HD from a dually, or a D70 from an 84 ford. I need to measure the dually rear to see how far the wheels will stick out on these style trucks.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-19-2009, 05:15 PM

Finally some real progress!

I put a front fender on and slid my extra D44 in to see if the wheel was in the center of the wheel well before I installed the shackles in the frame. What do you think? I think it looks fine.

Here is the RH shackle installed.

I am going to have to notch my body mount braket so the bolt will be flush, but I can do that later. I have to finish the LH tomorrow and get the front clip in primer. I decided to install a 2 1/4" cowl scoop on my hood so hopefully I can get the hood close to done tomorrow. Once I get the clip back on it I will install my D60 and start mocking up for the powertrain.

BLAZERMAN · 11-19-2009, 08:27 PM

Looks like your really going to town on it now! I'm not much on the 2 wheel drive stuff and having a hard time understanding what those e-brake mounts are for?? Keep up the good work!! will be watching this one!

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-19-2009, 09:17 PM

The ebrake mounts are for the park brake cable system. The LH one is for the cab pedal assembly cable and on the RH frame the end of the cable is secured by a bolt through the frame mount. It is like a big horse shoe set up.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-20-2009, 04:28 PM

Well I got the fenders primered after work last night. Today I drilled and bolted the LH shackle to the frame, and I installed the trim back on the LH fender. Tonight I have to go get new poly bushings for the support so next week I can put the front clip together to start mocking up the engine.

Those are some damn nice heavy duty jack stands there. Are they home made?

They come in handy a lot. I believe they were made by Grey back in the 80's.

Ryan, do you know the person who has the yellow/white 67-72 just east of Center Ave. in Mithellville? I just happened to notice it today....

Is it sitting behind a garage? I don't know him but Mathew has tried to buy the truck before. It is kind of foe sale, but it has to be dry and the guy has a crap ton of stuff in the back of it too.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-23-2009, 12:53 PM

subscribed very cool...

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-25-2009, 02:31 AM

I got my hood done for now.

dammitmitchell · 11-25-2009, 03:22 PM

that sir is a nice hood

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-25-2009, 04:40 PM

Thanks.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-25-2009, 05:12 PM

No real progress today. I started putting the trim on the RH fender so I could put it on. Here is a picture of my reconditioned hood springs.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-27-2009, 05:02 PM

I finally got the front clip sitting on it. Man I think it looks better than I thought it would. I might have to stick a 60 under it and put the front tires on it to get a real ride heighth.

It might be a few weeks before I can really work on it again. I have to finish up our shop that we are putting up and then I have some customer trucks to work on. We'll just have to see how it goes.

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-26-2010, 09:05 PM

I did make some head way on this thing this weekend. It is being kind of a pain however.

I had to remove the front crossmember ans build a new one. Now I have the engine sitting where I want it and need to build engine mounts and an engine crossmember. I had to remove the exhaust manifold and turbo because the turbo outlet was in my broken heater housing. LOL While I was removing the manifold, 5 of the 12 bolts broke.

Great more work.

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-26-2010, 09:05 PM

Ok some more progress pics. I had to remove the stock front crossmember because I would have had to remove too much from it to get the engine in there and decided it would make it too weak.

The engine is sitting where I need it to get the trans to line up with the driveline.

I finally got my plasma cutter back from the Snap-on guy and it has never worked this good. I think it was junk when I got it!

It cuts really nice now. The operator could use some practice though!

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-26-2010, 09:06 PM

I brought my Dana 60 front inside to thaw out too.

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-27-2010, 05:06 PM

I had to build new engine mounts because I didn't like where the stock brackets would have placed the engine crossmember. Now hoprfully tomorrow I can start on the engine crossmember. I will be using 4" c channel for the sides and 2"x4" 1/4" square tubing for the center. I am going to make this bolt in the frame rails with some channel as well. I think that will be plenty strong.

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-27-2010, 05:18 PM

I also traded my 6" front springs for some 4" ones so I shouldn't have a problem hauling my gooseneck now. Once I get the engine and trans in then I will flip it around in the shop and remove the box. I still have to change the 2wd hangers for 4wd ones.

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-29-2010, 01:53 AM

Well this morning I started building the RH side of the engine crossmember.

I had to cut out a portion of the frame where it was recessed for the old control arms so my inner plate would sit flush in the frame rail. I have cut a piece out and will weld it back in tomorrow.

BLACK AND BLUE 67-72 · 01-30-2010, 03:19 AM

Looks great so far!! Excellent job!!

Once I get the engine and trans in then I will flip it around in the shop and remove the box. I still have to change the 2wd hangers for 4wd ones. __________________ Ryan 1972 Chevy Longhorn K30 Cheyenne Super, 359 Inline 6 cylinder, Auto Trans, Tilt, Diesel Tach/Vach, Buckets, Rare Rear 4-link and air ride option Build Thread 1972 GMC Sierra Grande Longhorn 4x4 1972 Chevy Cheyenne Super K20 Long Step side tilt, tach, tow hooks, AC, 350 4 speed 1972 C10 Suburban Custom Deluxe 1969 Chevy milk truck 1971 Camaro RS 5.3 BTR STG3 Cam Super T10 1940 Ford 354 Hemi 46RH Ford 9" on air ride huge project *Tired of spark plugs?

I had to cut out a portion of the frame where it was recessed for the old control arms so my inner plate would sit flush in the frame rail. I have cut a piece out and will weld it back in tomorrow. __________________ Ryan 1972 Chevy Longhorn K30 Cheyenne Super, 359 Inline 6 cylinder, Auto Trans, Tilt, Diesel Tach/Vach, Buckets, Rare Rear 4-link and air ride option Build Thread 1972 GMC Sierra Grande Longhorn 4x4 1972 Chevy Cheyenne Super K20 Long Step side tilt, tach, tow hooks, AC, 350 4 speed 1972 C10 Suburban Custom Deluxe 1969 Chevy milk truck 1971 Camaro RS 5.3 BTR STG3 Cam Super T10 1940 Ford 354 Hemi 46RH Ford 9" on air ride huge project *Tired of spark plugs?
