Re: "The possum" build - 1970 4x4 LWB on mid 70's chassis

I traded the flatbed off of my donor and $20 for a set of 5 rally wheels with 31x10.50's (4 of them like new). I also got 5 caps and the chrome lugnuts. They'll be going on the truck for now. I'm still wanting some 33's or 35's later on...











I spent the weekend grinding, drilling, and pounding about 40 rivits out of the rear spring hangers. Man, I wish I had a torch!!! I moved the front hanger up 4 inches, and the rear up 2 inches. This put a little angle on the rear shackle, but not too bad. I'm hoping it will drop the rear a bit to help level the truck out. I'll get some better pics ASAP. Thats my dad in the pic helping out.





Gonna test fit the bed this week, to see how it looks.

Oh and by the way... bought a set of 30 Bosch titanium drillbits for $30, and I also bought one deWalt 3/8" drillbit for $12. I burned up a half dozen of the set on about 15 holes $ rivits. The deWalt has gone through atleast 15 and is still going strong!
