Looking Good, At the rate u are moving u should make the target date.........
Will keep watch on your Progress as Im sure i will learn from it............ Rick |
Re: Its the shortbed's turn "Project Junkyard Resurrection"
I am still learning from it too.My 4 inch all spring lift kit should be here before the end of the month.I cant wait to get it and install it.Drivetrain should be in by the end of January leaving me with about a month to get the body on and wire it just enough to get it running
and hopefully meeting the deadline.Then its more body work time then paint. |
Re: Its the shortbed's turn "Project Junkyard Resurrection"
I was doing some adding and figured out at this point I have about $750 in the truck including the original price of the truck.That is not including the new 4" all spring lift which is another $600 or the motor because it was free but I am still putting some performance parts in it.However that price is including 95% of the body panels that are useable and in good shape.The only body panels I need to buy is a bed floor,tailgate,and maybe a bedside.I think I am doing good so far:D.What do you think?

Re: Its the shortbed's turn "Project Junkyard Resurrection"

When I am not working on it I guess I just post more and more pics.
Here are some ones I just took while the frame was outside.Msgross,these pics will show the quality of the paint job.;) |
Re: Its the shortbed's turn "Project Junkyard Resurrection"
looks like they have a raised steering arm on the front axle. Did it have a lift at one time? Frame is looking nice...I hope to have the same pics after x-mas...
|
Re: Its the shortbed's turn "Project Junkyard Resurrection"
It had a 6 inch lift on it when I got it that I removed so it was easier to remove the body.I didnt have a original steering arm to put on it so I just left that one on.A 4 inch lift is going back on it soon so I would have had to reinstall it anyway
|
Re: Its the shortbed's turn "Project Junkyard Resurrection"
Ok,pics will be here in a few hours.Time to unveil the 4" all spring lift kit.A new set of dynomax headers,a edelbrock intake,and some other stuff.Look for pics later.Just thought I would say what the truck got for christmas ahead of time.

Re: Its the shortbed's turn "Project Junkyard Resurrection"
Started taking the front end apart for the lift kit.The company didnt included bolts so I have to go buy some tomorrow.
|
Re: Its the shortbed's turn "Project Junkyard Resurrection"
Did some more painting.Got the spring hangers painted.Lift kit can almost go on now.Waiting for some bushings and a few bolts.
|
Re: Its the shortbed's turn "Project Junkyard Resurrection"
On the picture of the transfer case, if you look under the Dremel box you can see the crack in the case. It is a shame too because the transmission only has about 8000 miles on it. I think a good case and know how would make a great transmission for your truck.

Re: Its the shortbed's turn "Project Junkyard Resurrection"
I did some more painting.Looking for some bushings and grade 8 bolts because they werent supplied.Thats slowing me down.
|
Re: Its the shortbed's turn "Project Junkyard Resurrection"
Just shot some flat black on the doors for the truck.Will have pics later
|
Re: Its the shortbed's turn "Project Junkyard Resurrection"
Hey dustin why did you only paint the inside of the frame???
|
Re: Its the shortbed's turn "Project Junkyard Resurrection"
You mean the outside?I only painted the outside because I am pretty much out of paint and wanted to finish the outside.I still need to go through and do some cleaning on the inside before it gets primered and painted.I have shot some paint on the inside,just not alot.
|
Re: Its the shortbed's turn "Project Junkyard Resurrection"
Waiting for parts to come in so I am working on the body now.Got one door painted flat black(temporarily till its ready for paint).The door was rust free but has a big dent in the lower section I will need to adress.I am going to clean and paint the other door tomorrow and maybe the hood.If I feel lucky the cowl might get painted also.Stay tuned!
