I want to rip out all the soft stuff in the interior ( carpet, seat covers, and headliner). The drivers side door is BADLY rusted and needs to be replaced.

Re: 2 for 1, My son's first Square Build

Re: 2 for 1, My son's first Square Build

Well not much is happening here. I have been traveling for work the last 2 weeks and the weather has been terrible before that. When I get back we plan on pulling the front clip and start cleanning the firewall and front frame/suspension before baseball starts. It sucks that I have been gone and not able to help Korbin the last 2 weeks, the weather back home has been in the 70's...

Some how, Korbin's account is locked out and his email is not working so he has not been able to post. When I get home later this week, I hope to get that corrected for him.

Re: 2 for 1, My son's first Square Build

Well, I have not gotten his email to work so that we cannot get his account unlocked.

Anyway, we did get the front clip off of the truck and pulled the a/c unit off the firewall before baseball started...He broke his foot, and just got his cast off about 2 weeks ago and was able to start playing ball this week. No other progress has been made, but we have our next goal set. The goal by the end of May is to have the bed off and working taking apart the suspension. The goal by the end of the summer is to have the frame stripped down and clean up and painted. Next is to have the suspension peices sandblasted and coated (paint or powder) and assembled with spindles but no brakes yet...

Re: 2 for 1, My son's first Square Build

Hey guys, I'm the old man that dealt with Korbin on these trucks and I joined just so he would know that I'm keeping track of his progress. Karl is glad that I was dealing with Korbin on this deal because it would have cost HIM a lot more money.

Re: 2 for 1, My son's first Square Build

Do you have any ratchet straps? If so, tie them crossways across the bed, and put the hoist where they cross (left front to right rear, right front to left rear). That should work.

Re: 2 for 1, My son's first Square Build

You could get some of your buddys and your dad to help you left it off or if you have 4 jacks stands and some blocks jack it up and put the bed on the stands and push the truck off from the bed, just some ways of doing it but you could use the hoist to...

Re: 2 for 1, My son's first Square Build

Hey, I'm from Mesquite. Y'all's football team just about shattered my knee this past season. Had me benched for the rest of the season, and off my feet 'til almost Christmas, lol. Anyway, nice little project y'all have going here. Kind of similar to what my dad and I are doing. Looking forward to what y'all end up with...subscribed.

Re: 2 for 1, My son's first Square Build

Nope, Longview high school, the Lobos, right? Real nice stadium built into the hillside? I don't even know who Spring Hill is, never played 'em. I went for a tackle right about the 50 and the kid with the ball dived for the first down...straight into my knee Btw, I would go ratchet straps, not chains, chains do nasty things no matter what you do.

Re: 2 for 1, My son's first Square Build

This is Korbin's Dad.

Biggest issue that Korbin has not mentioned is that the truck has no wheels/tires to roll it out from under the bed once it is up in the air. Looks like I might have to loan him something to make this happen. We will see when I get home tonight.

Spring Hill is a small 3A school district on the north side of Longview.

Re: 2 for 1, My son's first Square Build

korbin again, i knew that i didn't have tires, but i knew that i could get my hands on wheels, and plywood i think i'm going to combine the ratchet strap/ engine hoist idea sometime soon.
