Re: Used Parts Build
Those little lights work good. I might have to get me some for under the Jeep.

Re: Used Parts Build
How well has that Krylon coating on the exhaust holding up?

I haven't driven it much but it seems to be holding up. The exhaust turbine is painted with the same stuff and under a blanket and its held up the same. While it scratched easily pre cured it seems to be okay now. Id try it again.

Re: Used Parts Build
My transmission was making a howling noise while in gear and stopped. It would go away in park and once driving though. After some research I figured the torque converter was bad. Bought a new one but hurt my back so it took a lot longer to get it in.
![]() My wife got me this sticker. Hope it works through the computer so you can see it. ![]()

Re: Used Parts Build
You can make your own custom ones so I was thinking maybe a link to your build here or something... This was better.

Re: Used Parts Build
I'm glad someone appreciates it! I picked it for the recessional song at our wedding. She got to pick the processional song so I figured it was my time to shine.

Re: Used Parts Build
Replaced the leaking output shaft seal. Seems to be leaking a tiny bit still though from the yoke though. Any thoughts?
I have been driving it around my neighborhood a bit to get some shake down miles on it and not be to far from home if I don't make it. ![]() Cut part of the bed mounts I made off so I can have them slotted for adjustment. Adding a bit more tube as well. ![]() I would like to say I planned on removing the bed gap but I set my rear end to be centered at ride height and not when laid out. So I pushed the bed forward a bit to make up the difference. The black strip is primer that I need to rattle can white or something for the mean time. The bedside isnt mounted or anything since I need to tweak a few things first. [url=https://flic.kr/p/2kJbn9C] ![]()

Re: Used Parts Build
Looking good.....finally comes together.....you might check the yoke center plug....knowned to leak ...several methods of repair but the most common one is JB weld coated...just a thought

Re: Used Parts Build
Did you put rtv under that yoke nut? I'm not sure if it is necessary there as I don't have any 2wd stuff myself. I know I needed it on my transfer case output.

Re: Used Parts Build
Thanks guys. I appreciate it. Been taking care of all the little things while I drive it around.
Added a second tab to the exhaust to keep it from pivoting. The bushing came apart since the exhaust was twisting on it. ![]() The blinkers wouldnt cancel and it felt funky when I went to signal so I replaced the cam. ![]() Been driving it a few times a week to try to find all the bugs and break the rear end in before I get it turned and try to turn it up. ![]() ![]()

Re: Used Parts Build
Took way to long to get this done. Finally finished welding, stripped, and painted my raised bed floor.
![]() Had to cut off my shock mount and move it down a quarter inch since my initial measurements were off and it hit the bed floor. ![]() Finally got to play around with CAD and used Send Cut Send to make some tabs and brackets I needed. ![]() I bought line lock because Amazon told me too... and drew up the bracket in CAD. ![]() Need to plumb and wire it ![]()

Re: Used Parts Build
Thanks Joe.
Got my truck back together so I could take it to a few meet ups. Did my first wash is like 8 years. ![]() Now I need to figure out how to cover this all up. ![]() Here is my idea. I plan on having the pivot on the forwardmost tube which means I have to pull the floor away from the cabside a bit before pivoting. I plan to run a wood floor and have maybe 3ish feet in the center that pivots. I saw this thread: https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=819450 and started playing with cardboard. This is roughly what I ended up with. You can click on it for the video. ![]() I drew it up in QCAD (free software) and sent it over to Send Cut Send. Hopefully it works...I'll be out of town for the next week so hopefully I return to cool parts!

Re: Used Parts Build
I heard about Send Cut Send from another you tube account I follow. I see it as a great way for a lot of builders to step up their builds from the old methods of doing things with a cut off wheel and a drill.
From the pictures you shared, the parts looks great and come all deburred and looks like they used a surface belt sander on the face of the parts.

Re: Used Parts Build
A machine cut bracket is hands down better for repeatability vs. hand made. I go that route as much as I can when building things now.

Drew up the brackets. Had them cut. ![]() Here is a video of them in action. I think I would do them a bit different next time but they will work well enough (I hope). ![]() Picked up this little fixture table off a company on Instagram (Dayton CNC). Was really cheap ($125) and seems to be high quality. Its small 6''x12'' but I figure Ill put it to good use some how. ![]() Went to drive it tonight after being out of town and decided to look it all over first... ![]() Universal coolant apparently doesnt work with dexcool. I didnt flush the engine before I hooked it all up. The rest of the system is new. I spend an hour or so flushing it with the hose. I ordered some radiator flush and will start again tomorrow. Ugh.
