Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Besides, the bed will have to wait until I get it put together. I have to get the floor and sides assembled so he can fix the big dent in the RH side.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I borrowed some 305's from my little brother for now so I can see what this truck will look like. I'm planning on going to the body shop and putting these on tomorrow so I'll get some pics of the truck tomorrow.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I made it over to the body shop and got these tires installed. Also snaped some pics of the truck. No progress has been made and I'm not surprised. :lol: Hopefully by Christmas it'll have color on it. Hopefully..............................................

It matches the contour of the RH behind the wheel. http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...n/DSC00376.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...n/DSC00377.jpg I finally found my missing pieces to get a steering column back in it. Dang, I hope I can find the rest of this truck! :lol: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...n/DSC00379.jpg |

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Hey dude :
So this is where your hanging out huh .....Truck looks great and being a 69 Z/28 kinda guy i dig the hugger orange. It's alot of work building one of these things but it sure must feel good getting it to the body shop. I know for me thats when you start to realize wow there is a end to this thing......lol Your build looks great make's me think my prostreet truck could use a transfer case.....I will be sure to be back and watch you complete it |
Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Ryan,
I'm not sure what happened to my subscription to your build. All my posts and subscription vanished. I've been following along for over a year and never got any updates. So I just thought I would check in. Not sure how I could lose a script and all my posts? Anyway, glad to see all the last few months worth of progress. Hope to see some paint shot on this puppy pretty soon too. |

Thanks and your truck is coming along awesome too. I love those nice tires. Those would work great on my suburban, well maybe with just a little lift on it. I love the agressive tread. I got a crap load of new and used parts to put on mine too. Can't wait till I get where you are. Keep rocking bro:chevy: |
Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Are you feeling truckless now with your truck at the body shop , or did you keep enough parts back to work on ? Mine has been gone for awhile and to keep busy i have been working on a shop addition and organizing parts.....Don't get me wrong i now drive to the body shop everyday i can and do what ever i can to speed up the process

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Your truck has gone through quite the transformation. Excellent work. How did you determine where to mount the rear springs on your truck? I'am coverting my 72 swb 2wd truck to 4x4. The front spring swap is easy, but i don't know where to start for the rear. My truck has trailing arm suspension. Any advice would be appreciated. What grade, size, and length of bolts did you use to put 4x4 parts on your 2wd frame?

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Ryan,
Wow! Where have I been? I can't believe I never ran across your build thread. Awsome work on the ol' girl. I think you will be done with yours before me. Keep it up buddy! Someone's 'gotta' get some work around here. And since it isn't me, I glad that you are making such good progress. :metal: -Richard |
