So I picked up this truck back in July 2017 it had 250 i6 with a TH350 but it just isn’t cutting it for me.

My plans are

Suspension/chassis
-Air ride Mustang II with power rack
-4 link rear end w/ bags over axle, c-notch
-Blazer rear end with disc breaks
-under floor power break booster, all new brake lines
-blast, prime and paint chassis

Drivetrain
-5.3L with a 4l60e


Body/paint
-Fresh paint
-light rust repair in the floorboards and cab corners
-holes in firewall filled
-steel wheels and whitewall tires

Interior
-a/c, radio, wipers, and gauges
-new apolstry

Some of the old “pretty” weld on the rear axle and the motor mounts

Just a little update doesn’t seem like much but I got the old suspension off. The rivets on the old leaf spring brackets I had to grind down the head and drill most of it out than punch them out. I also got the MII crossmeebr tacked in and assembled,I used some allthread to get my centers dead right on the spring hats. I’m satisfied how it all turned out.

Thanks I appreciate it, I’ll keep going at it... I just read your entire Columbus build, that’s going to be a sweet truck.

The accuair Endo CVT and E-level kit finally came in. It took me 5 weeks to get this thing. The compressor and sylinoids are built inside of the 5 gallon tank, it’s suppose to be really quiet so I’m planning on mounting it behind the seat where the gas tank was at.
