Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

I could drink a few buds, just looking at those parts. Really nice, your truck is going to look killer, cant wait see the wheels. Also I cant believe you have to smog them old trucks in Nevada, that sucks!!

Re: Project NOT4SLE

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

That looks to me like too much fun for one guy!

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

The drop spindles should be here later this week. Then when I get a free couple of days Ill get it all installed. Im going to install all new steering components and ball joints at the same time as well. Clean up everything that had not cleaned up when together.

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

nice collection of parts... you have some work cut out for you. keep at it.

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

Well the truck is "smogged" well at least I mean she passed :lol::lol:

The Vin inspection got done today also good hting it was not stolen :lol: I bought it from a cop HAHAHA

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

Congrats....you'll be cruising in no time....not to get all the shiny PB stuff put on ;)

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

Oh ya, dropped all that off at the powder coater as well to get a nice shiney blakc finish put on

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

:haha:

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

Thanks vegas! Your truck is sweet! Another one being given the treatment it deserves.

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

Thank you, I have lots to do but well on my way to getting it done!!!

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

I'm calling Nathan's version of the PHB the "OK" PHB vs. other companies that offer 'Super Track Bar' kits. 'OK' stands for OverKill :lol: .

I wanted to install my stuff but it was 100% freakin humidity (the shop floor was wet!!) so no handling bare metal yesterday for me or it would be instant rust!

You are correct on the two brackets. One is the drivers shock mount, the other is the pass side shock/PHB mount.

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

Yeah....I'm jealous of all the goodies going on your truck!

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

cant wait to get them on and installed!!!

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

you can get that all in one weekend can't ya? :lol:

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

I think once powder coated the install will run a few days with everything, new bushings, joints, steering and cleaning everything up

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

Well I have officially licensed, registered and switched title on my truck. :metal::metal: now she can be driven although I have a few more kinks to work out.

working on the carb a bit to fine tune it and the float bowl gasket started leaking on the float height adjustment screw. GRRRR

Going to find one tomorrow so I can get to driving this beast around....

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

awesome. good to hear you got it all legally yours especially since you already had so much time invested in it!

tell me again why you call it "not4sle"? :lol:

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

I picked up new arm rest pads, a real gas cap, peep mirror, new interior door handles and window cranks, 67-70 front bumper and front bumper mounts and i think thats about it this morning.

the truck is getting to look more and more like a truck.

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

Cool...looking forward to pictures when you can post them :lol:

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

great job so far, lots of goodies from porterbuilt I see.....:metal:

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

Oh yes!!! Going static for now... but I might bar it later... Porters parts are top notch thats for sure.

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

picking up the powdered pieces tomorrow and my spindles should be here tomorrow as well.

Tomorrow when I get off work I am going to try and take some pics of a steering set up I have that is brand new, I want to see if it is for a disc brake set up or not. I am pretty sure all disc brake front ends are the same on the se trucks. Maybe someone can identify it for me.

I go hunting on the 6th of November through the 12th so I am hoping to get the suspension done before then but it is doubtful.

I have the complete new steering assembly, springs, shocks, and the porter stuff to go on. AS well as new upper and lower ball joints, and cross shafts for the a arms.

recommend anything else to replace when doing the suspension?
