looking good

yukon ratrod · 02-19-2011, 03:36 PM

well I got the truck back to home base and got the door frames finally painted white. a couple of guys from work came out and helped me start cleaning up and polishing up all the glass and vent window parts. thanks to josh and mike! I can tell theres some time here to be spent installing all the vent seals. all the engines wiring is run and ready for final install. still debating on what I want for a carb. anyway its all forward movements I guess.

Any time Brent! It was awesome to finally see the truck in person

As for the pictures they look fine on here, must just be the camera screen making them look yellow.

yukon ratrod · 02-20-2011, 03:38 PM

got my wheels ordered up on Saturday! thank you Mikey!!! got a screaming deal on a pair of 18x8 for the front and 20x 10 for the back. the rears have a 6 1/4 back space so I believe all should work out well. I went with the lighter silver color for the rims. debated on going all chrome, but think this is more of what im after??

chevytruckluver · 04-05-2011, 06:56 PM

any updates?

yukon ratrod · 04-10-2011, 03:08 PM

well its been awhile. Ive been busy working on customer cars and havent had any play time for me in month or so! sooo that being said, I have ordered my new tires, which should be here on friday I hope!! I was wanting to order the porterbuilt crossmember kits front and back, but haven't heard back from them, so I decided to change my course and keep on moving forward. I live is a small town where parts always have to be ordered, so patience runs short on waiting for replys from other companies. that being said, I ordered everything for the front to rebuild it. I have new drop spindles and springs on there way as well as shocks, new calipers ect..... in the back Ive ordered a c-notch kit,an adjustable tracking bar, springs and shocks. I think I will build my own trailing arms, really not much to them. sooo my wife suggested to me that I take the left over money from not buying the crossmembers and buy my twin turbo set up ive been dreaming of for some time! I love my wife!! she just so gets the car thing!!

Jacfourteen · 04-15-2011, 01:59 AM

Great project! You work quick.

Seventy Two · 04-15-2011, 10:29 AM

ARTISTIC · 04-16-2011, 02:09 AM

Dont know how I missed this but your build looks great! Looking forward to seeing this out and about this summer. I just ordered all my suspension components - a good start after 7 years of ownership.....lol. Shipping parts up here is brutal.

RCbowtie69 · 04-16-2011, 11:41 AM

Sweet looking wheels,keep pictures coming

yukon ratrod · 04-16-2011, 12:49 PM

ok ok guys Ive been wanting to take a day out for myself for some time . been working 70 hours a week and buying parts like a fool to keep the 72 project rollin along! sooo sayin that, I am and will put the day in on my truck today regardless of my current work load! so guys check in with me to night and if I havent posted picts do me a favor and kick my butt. going to try and get the other box side closer to finished today. sucks doing bodywork full time and trying to enjoy doing your own.

found that ordering out of scotts super trucks has given me the best service. no hassles and really quick on the shipping end.

yukon ratrod · 04-19-2011, 03:02 AM

got my order from scotts today! new rear cross member, shocks and relocators,adjustable track bar,5inch springs, new spring cups, u-bolts, c-notch kit,and rear sway bar. Decided to replace most of my box. the box sides turned out great so I will be using them, but as for the rest I dont have the time to spend repairing it.
ordered new box wall,tailgate, inner wheels tubs, all the box cross sills, a stainless bolt kit, stainless wood strips, and a new tubular trans cross member. still no sign of my drop spindles and springs yet!! Broke down and bought a new flaming river steering column two inchs shorter, with the over drive indicator and tilt of course, wasnt going to do this, but after all this work I feel that a tilts not asking for much!
