Repaired the tailgate had rust holes everywhere and painted I like the way it came out keep in mind I spray canned the paint job on this because it is an ongoing project when I am done with all the body work and body replacement it really needs it will get a professional paint job but that will be sometime from now it really needs a lot of new parts. I just made it as solid as possible so it can be driven and have fun with it while repairs are made.

Currently working on installing CPP tubular trailing arms, rear sway bar, porterbuilt crossmember for the trailing arms, front power disc brake kit, upper and lower control arms, front sway bar, and power steering kit with quick ratio gear box.

Re: Project General JD "Ole Jack"
 

And the brake spindles are 2.5" drop spindles

Re: Project General JD "Ole Jack"
 

Nice work! :chevy:

Re: Project General JD "Ole Jack"
 

Thanks! I got the porterbuilt crossmember for the trailing arms, CPP tubular trailing arms, and rear sway bar completed today. Started on the disc brakes and power steering have the passenger side disc brakes with drop spindles and new upper and lower control arms mounted up. Also got the drivers side all apart and the power steering quick ratio gear box mounted.

Re: Project General JD "Ole Jack"
 

I gotta say I really like the look with big tires filling the fender wells...makes it look better imp. :chevy:

Re: Project General JD "Ole Jack"
 

Thanks man I like how it turned out. I actually put those tires on it to bring down my rpms and with some luck on my side the speedo is now correct no more GPS.

Re: Project General JD "Ole Jack"
 

Got the disc brakes on, power steering gear box on, and power steering pump installed. While installing the pitman arm it feel and chipped my tooth hurt like hell. Seems like everything I do with the old truck fights me the whole way. But tooth can be fixed and the truck will ride like a new one when I am done. Worth it!

Re: Project General JD "Ole Jack"
 

Neat truck.

Re: Project General JD "Ole Jack"
 

Thank you

Re: Project General JD "Ole Jack"
 

Had the wife helping with mounting the power brake booster today. :devil:

Re: Project General JD "Ole Jack"
 

Finished the brake lines today. Bled the system. Same for the power steering. I love the stance with the 2.5" drop spindles and 2" drop springs in the front not sure if I want to leave the 4" drop in the rear or go lower. I like the rake but it is extreme. Pictures to follow tomorrow.
