Nice progress. Keep at it! Are you having fun on this build?

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
I am. I haven't taken a truck down this far before so I'm kinda going slower. I want to do a lot of stuff to it to make it sit lower. My plan is to do a 4.5'' and 6'' drop. I am finding out just how much work goes into one thats torn down all the way. But I'm glad that I am doing it. I found a couple loose nuts on the crossmember u bolts. May have shown up later and had a bad day lol.
Most of my stuff will be ECE. |
Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
I really enjoyed painting the frame and then bolting all the suspension parts onto a nice clean surface. So much nicer than working under an old dirty/greasy truck and grinding/wire wheeling. Plus, they look so great painted up and with new parts on them.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
I sure am getting dirty doin it. I still need to clean the a arms and crossmember. Maybe tomorrow or this weekend. I found out my tranny is gonna cost more than I thought. But it'll be one less thing to worry about I guess. Still haven't heard from the motor guy yet. I need to get ordering stuff.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
looking good. i just finished putting 3 calipers back on, still need the passenger rear and i can scratch it off my list.
the only reason im going slower other than the fact that its my first time :lol: is that im trying to remember how it went together or how to put the new stuff in. |
Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
Well my truck is now all GMC. I sold the chevy center caps and bought some new GMCs to go on my ralleys. I also picked up my transmission from Rickys Transmission today. He rebuilt one for me a few years back and I thought he did a great job. I'll paint this to make it look better.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
I wetsanded the front part of the frame yesterday and painted it today while it was raining cats and dogs. I want to get a c notch kit and shock relocator kit then I'll do the rear. I got the upper balljoints out of the a arms.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
frame looks really good.
For the C-notch, POL (performanceonline.com) has their chassis stuff 10% off of already cheap prices...might be worth looking into. |
Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
I'm watchin some on ebay now. thanks bud.(from them)
|
Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
I purchased a new tranny crossmember from Performance online.(off of ebay) I like the aftermarket crossmembers a whole lot better than the stock ones. You can get to the rear bolts of the pan easier. I 'll get a pic when it gets here. I also bought some 2'' drop front springs from CPP on ebay.
|
Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
I'll be waiting for the pic of the crossmember. How much was it?
|
Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
The frame looks great! Keep it up!
|
Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
The rally's and centers look good Chuck

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
thanks mcbassin.
Thanks Dwane. I like them too. I found a wiring harness for my tach dash. http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/l...SANY0009-7.jpg I also started cleaning up my a arms. I thought I would try two products and see which one works. Turns out that their both about the same imo. I still like carb cleaner too. Pressure washer followed both btw. http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/l...SANY0010-8.jpg |
Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
Cool. Is that wiring NOS?
|
Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
It looks like it but I think its a repro since it came in the package in the pic and the brand is factory fit (I think). Total I paid 25.00 for it. So I don't think its NOS.
|
Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
Cool! I want to do a tach dash in mine too. I should have gotten one when I bought this last one but I wasn't sure at the time that I wanted to try to wire it for one. Do you have HEI going in this?
|
Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
I plan on buying a new HEI dizzy.
