my next step was applying a perma tex brand rubberized undercoat to the frame i think it turned out awsome looking had a freind use it on his project and it still looks great 5 years old i hope it last as well on mine. I did 2 coats of that as well it goes on easy although it is a bit messy with overspray cover anything around that you dont want it onAttachment 1827669

Re: building a mule
I spent a bunch of time with my local tire shop mechanic trying to figure out lift options and got absolutly nowhere except a free set of rear leaf springs that are heavy duty and almost new. Probably wont even use them. All i want to be able to do is stick some 33s on the truck with no rubbing or bumping.
|
Re: building a mule
My goal was to have the wheels and tires under the frame by the end of the year but my fishing season is going really slow right now probably wont even be back to montana till mid november which happens to be rt in the middle of bird hunting. so not being sure how im going to work out the suspension and running short on time might not get to it till spring.
Maybe some of you guys have some input on the suspesion stuff? |
Re: building a mule
The original springs will provide plenty of lift to clear 33" tires.

Also i need to get one of your powere steering brackets. And the break booster that i have came from a 73 k10 will your booster adapter work with that or should i just plan on drilling and mounting without the adapter? |
Re: building a mule
No the square body boosters are NOT compatible with any of my booster brackets. Those have the factory mounting brackets riveted to them. If you must use that booster you will have to drill holes. Just be aware that in doing so, it really is not installed correctly.

Re: building a mule
Any of you guys that may live around the Gallatin Valley Mt im going to be getting rid of some stuff free to a good home 64 k10 front end and rearend also have some rear leafs heavy duty that are like new anyway just throwing it out there. If you are local you know how bad our junk yard sucks ive got more stuff in my back yard than they do

Re: building a mule
I will also have a cab to get rid of in the future that may have some value to somebody when im finished with it i dont want anymoney for any of my stuff but im not wanting to have to ship it or haul it

Re: building a mule
In addition to those boosters mentioned in post #1 of the for sale thread,m there is a larger list in post #183 on page 8. A more complete list including part numbers is included with every booster bracket.
http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=339081 I will send you a PM with ordering and payment info. I do combine shipping, so it is more cost effective to order multiple parts at the same time. Will you need just the steering box adapter plate, ot do you also need the tube and flange? Quote:

Re: building a mule
Moscow, you're sure giving that thing the treatment. Was the undercoat on the frame meant to protect it from chipping? Looks nice. Are going to scrape it off where things bolt to it?
