Today I got my exhaust tucked up better, and lowered the torsion front about 4 inches.

Here are some comparison pics:

Ordered the Altman Easy Latch kit and some new Door Hinge sets. :)
Cleaned up and arranged the sheet metal in the shop. Put together the parts that need media blasting. Getting ready to remove the cab from the frame to cut out the 3-speed cross-member and rear trans cross member, may have to get a welding guy in here with a torch though.

It's funny how mostly everyone is restoring there trucks specifically so they can rive em to work. Always feels good to accomplish the first maiden voyage. Cool truck also

I ground off the rivets to remove mine. Wasn't too bad of a job. Plenty of room to work the crossmember out once the rivets are gone.

Bought this stuff from someone parting out his project. He bought the parts in 2005.
CPP Aluminum tank
CPP Master cylinder and booster
CPP 5 lug rotors
CPP Calipers
Tubular upper and lower control arms (look like Western Chassis)
Trailing arms that I have yet to identify (the guy thought it was all CPP but it's not)

I'm not sure if I'm going to use the lower control arms because the spring bucket looks a little low. The Western website doesn't say anything about these being drop control arms so I'll have to look into it. Got a good package deal price so I couldn't say no.

organized and marked more baggies full of bolts, screws and stuff. I did manage to bolt my fan to the fan clutch today. Too much on the honey-do list but I will give old betty some time tomorrow if the weather cooperates.

Got the trailing arms and coil springs off. Back end is stripped. Just waiting on muscle to move the cab and on to tearing down front suspension.http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z...psb955yqoh.jpghttp://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z...psvi0rylil.jpghttp://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z...psf4kx759y.jpghttp://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps0zvlaatw.jpg

Are you lifting cab off with doors and glass? If so, what are you using to lift off and did you build a cart to set it on?

thanks.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 
BEFORE you lift the cab, make sure you support the very corners of the frame. Otherwise you'll have a frame coming off those jack stands! I'm sure you realized that. Just wanna be safe.

I recommend first taking doors off and windshield out if possible. Four able bodied men can easily lift the cab off the frame and that is what I recommend. That's how we put mine BACK onto the frame.

The hoist method is clever and works great but I was working in my yard and couldn't wheel a hoist away from the frame. So that method was out.

You will not be able to do what I did because you have the wheels off the frame, but here goes. My son and I actually tipped the cab off all by ourselves. We slowly slid the cab until it would gently tip onto the PS rocker - so it was on the ground. Then carefully tipped it enough so he could balance it by holding onto the PS upper door frame at the roof line. I rolled the frame out from under the cab using a small pickup truck. I then came to the DS rocker and had him tip it to me. I balanced it holding on to the DS rocker until he came over to assist with slowly lowering it to the ground. Two men and 5 minutes.

I used my tractor to pull mine off. :mm:

Doors and glass stays on for now as I don't have a dry place for it. The cab needs very minor work, mostly a couple small dings and a lot of sanding.lol. Really weighing the option of just rolling around under it with the blaster and not take it off. Get underneath and rear frame clean and paint,put back together, then move to the front. Cab mounts are in great shape and not very dirty under the floor. Nothing I can't clean from underneath.

I got my rear springs on. I used Classic Industries 3" trucks springs. It lowered my panel just under 4" in the rear. Ill be curious to see how much they settle.
