Well I have one of the swaybar brackets mods complete, just needs paint then put it on. I'm going to try and get the other one done this weekend.

What do you think ? Look factory ?

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

Looks great. I'll take two Gary. :lol:

I'll be doing this mod as well, but I'll have to modify the brackets to work with my 4" lift.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

Ya know Shannon, I only had to move my bracket forward about 1" with a 2" lift
So with a 4" you may get lucky and it will line up with your existing cross member !

This ones ready to go on, one more to go !

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

Do you have a build thread? I also have a 4" lift and didn't thgink it would be possible to make a stabilizer work, if you make it work i wanna know how you do it so i can too!

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

Looks factory! Nice fab work.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

If your referring to Shannon, his build thread is "Patches". But he recently had a baby and hasn't been doing much on the truck lately !

Brackets look great Gary.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

Thanks guys !!! Hopefully tomorrow I'll get some time to work on getting this one installed and start fabing up the other one.

Next week I'll be posting an update on the motor situation..... That's been one thing after the other. But it's coming together finally .

Quick update..... The other swaybar bracket is just about done, and I brought this home yesterday. It will be getting the traditional chevy orange treatment !

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

Are ya making Vroom Vroom noises yet??? :)

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

Who wouldn't be !!! LOL

Hope to get some time today to get it painted, POR-15 Chevy orange !

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

Swaybar is done !!!

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

Looks real good!

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

Thanks !!!

Shooting to get the engine back in it this weekend. Painting it now, but the POR-15 drys slooow and takes a few coats to cover well. It might be good stuff in the long run, but I'm no fan of how it goes on. Drys so slow that it sags & runs. Horizontal areas are good, vertical areas run. Grrrrr....

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

LOL! Yea i remember brushing some of that stuff too.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

looks awsome

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

Made some good progress today, motors all painted & in the chassis, serpentine belt set-up is mostly on, fuel & water pumps, headers are on. Had to do some clearancing on the serp brackets and the high volume pump to make everything fit, but it wasn't much. The valve covers will get a fresh coat of paint and some of the hardware will get replace with shiny stuff.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

Couple more pics !

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

Good progress. Keep up the good work.

X2 :metal:

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

Well I didn't realize my A/C serp bracket had the smog pump provisions on it until I installed it. Ugly.... So I just bought a bracket with out it. That will give it a much cleaner look.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

that looks great

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
 

Hey Gary! Damn a lot has happened since i last checked in. Just had back surgery 6 weeks ago so have fallen out of circulation here.

Bad news about the motor. bummer! Better to know before it's installed. At least you don't have paint to worry about. Yup, just put mine in the 4th body shop. Ugh! Oh well. What are ya gonna do? Project is coming along nicely though. That sway bar setup is pretty nice. Keep chugging away. If all goes well, I'll be back on mine in a few weeks… WITH PAINT ON IT.
