Thanks! I am definitely happy with how it is turning out.

Door panel is done!!!!

K10Kent · 05-29-2017, 10:30 PM

I love the door panel. The metal is so cool

farmfieldfinds · 06-03-2017, 09:42 AM

Naturally the transport wheels have a 3" opening and my axles are 3.5"!!! Now I get to order some spacers.

68Gold/white · 06-04-2017, 07:58 PM

You really need to machine the axle pilots down to 3", would be best. Or have a set of axles made. I'm not sure if Moser is still doing the 2 "C" clip axles for $260.00 anymore..

farmfieldfinds · 06-05-2017, 10:27 PM

On my next build I will just do 4 wheel disc and the 5 lug conversion. The spacers I got were recommended by several guys on this forum.

68Gold/white · 06-06-2017, 07:36 AM

That will work! Not what I was thinking of for a spacer. Those look good!

ChuckLee · 06-06-2017, 08:15 AM

I'm running those spacers on my rear wheels, they are stout, although mine are 5 lug

NewType72 · 06-06-2017, 12:51 PM

What spacers are those?? I'm looking to do a 1" wider spacing out back and those look perfect!

You do have to buy new short lug nuts to fit in the spacers grooves and then metric lug nuts to match whatever you are using on the front as this spacer is made for a Toyota. Unfortunately, it's the only one big enough to clear the rear axles.

farmfieldfinds · 06-06-2017, 10:44 PM

I used locktite on the spacer lug nuts just in case.

farmfieldfinds · 06-16-2017, 10:36 PM

Made some great progress on the lights!!!!

Actually, they did. Though I don't know all the details on when they stopped doing it but from what I can find, some had it up to 71 or 72

Build is looking pretty good. Nice job.

farmfieldfinds · 06-24-2017, 12:19 PM

Got the wheels on....finally!!!!

ChuckLee · 06-24-2017, 12:33 PM

Man those look SOOOOOO good with the paint contrast

farmfieldfinds · 06-29-2017, 04:26 PM

Took a bit of elbow grease and a can of black spray paint to get the overspray off (I even had the engine covered!) but I finally got the engine bay detailed.

farmfieldfinds · 06-29-2017, 04:27 PM

I also spent some time polishing my wood!

Shaky · 06-30-2017, 01:35 PM

LOL.

Truck looks good! Here's a kit to add the drain plug to the xmsn pan next time you change fluid:
