Re: Project '64 Cheapskate

I haven't posted in a few weeks, but that doesn't mean that I haven't done anything on the truck. As I posted earlier, I have a '79 Suburban that I am using as a donor for suspension and whatever else. Well, last weekend, I started tearing it down. Some of the parts were ones I was going to keep, others were spoken for by friends, and I was able to post an ad here on the site and so far have had a lot of responses. It's going to donate a lot of parts, and I'm really excited about how it's going to benefit the '64.

In parallel, I have been pulling the suspension out from under the '64. Here's a few shots with the front suspension removed:


The Donor:

And finally, the pest that wants me to play fetch every 30 seconds. She's a great dog, and she would play fetch until her feet bleed. Yeah, she's addicted to that ball.


Next weekend: Pull the final 14 bolts holding the suspension into the Suburban, stream-clean it all, then start detailing the chassis in preparation for the suspension install. Gotta keep knocking things off the list!
