Re: 1972 Medium Olive SWB Driver Build-“Chester”

This truck keeps fighting me, but slowly getting there. The front is now done with the exception of the sway bar. I also painted the calipers and rotor hats. Didn't spend a whole lot of time but looks way better than it was.

The rear is starting to kick my arse. The u-bolt nuts were rusted shut. My impact wouldn't break them free so I ended up cutting the passenger u-bolt. I thought installing the drop block and lower shock mount would be pretty easy but apparently my reared shifted back about 1/2" and was not able to get the bolts to line up with the trailing arm. I still have the CPP springs and drivers u-bolt still installed. Guess doing one side at a time is now off the table. Upper shock mounts were a piece of cake.

Completed front-end
