Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

I am using the original springs, I blasted , primed, and painted as well, I lost those pics of them being prepared.
I do not have the pulley's on yet, I will in a week or so, sorry. They are simple though, and I have them painted, and ready.

Thanks Trevor! It's been alot of work, totally by myself!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Well, here's a rolling chassis, finally! Every maintanance part has been replaced, brgs, seals, ball joints, rotors, calipers, control arm shafts & bushings, new posi rear carrier, every steel brake, & fuel line new, and clearcoated, all rear end bushings, complete park brake system new, and so on, and so on....it's a brand new chassis! Hope you like , I sure am proud!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

A few more chassis. I hope the Mods/admins are ok with all the pics.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Roadtacer, something I thought I'd mention.

You should remove the bolts from your upper ball joints and reinstall them the other way, with the nuts on top. The reason is that once you fill the grease boot full of grease and it pooches out, the threaded bolt ends will rub against the boots as they are now when the suspension cycles through it's range.

Most brands of ball joints have a little instruction sheet in there that warns to do it this way. I know it seems wrong, having bolts in upside down, but in this case it is right.

Couple more...

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

You are correct sir! I just couldn't do it though, LOL ! It will never see a hundred miles probably.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Oh, and I have already greased it, with juuuuust enough not to "Pooch". LOLOL!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

So you're building it just to have and keep? Not going to be a driver ?

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Oh I will drive it, just not as a daily. Some showing, probably sell it later on. Build something else...

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Transmission before, and after. High heat cleared, etc.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

The engine building pics were lost as well, D$#%^T ! So here's a few , I don't have many yet, haven't spent much time there yet.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Some more engine...

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

How bout some cab action?

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

wow, nice build.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Wet sanded and buffed entire cab, inside, out, and under the floorboard. Dark olive and white. Replaced front cab supports, and rear cab corners. Rocker panels had been replaced already. Cab was sandblasted, all new seamseal, etch primmed, base coat, and six coats clear, PPG materials.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Thank You very much! As most everyone knows.....That's what it's really all about! Just that complement ! At a show, pumping gas, or on a forum such as this.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Well let's get it on, get it? LOL

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Thought this was a cool pic, wish I had it complete in this photo.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

More cab on the truck...

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

awesome build, love seeing it go back all original

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Just curious...why so many shims on those upper control arms? Is that normal? Mine has maybe 1-3 on my 67 if I remember correctly.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

OH, and I forgot...very nice build! I can't wait to see more!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

I added extra shims, so when I have it aligned, they will take shims out, that I have already clear coated, and will not add their un-cleared ones. I want this thing to look this way in 10 years, maybe.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Mine also had several shims in it before disassenbly. Thanks, epashhans!
