looks like things are come'n together nicely on your truck . I got the tail gate trim for mine from a GMC Jimmy (no tail gate hanlde ), my girlfreinds parent's brought to me from Texas where I pick'd up my Suburan grill.

also I biult a console to go in between the rear seat's simular to what you have in mind

eigther it goes or it blows it has been done before to a 6.2 so why coundt it be done again The 6.2s might be an engine worth doing it too but i want to be diffrent thats the only reason im doing it i know im not going to get 400hp out of this but thats not what i want
but it i the engine fails i have a backup plan as i have a speciel engine in mind no not a cummins, Duramaxx or powerstroke but its a Ford :devil:

Nope its made by Ford but it dosent say Ford on the Block or FoMoCo for that matter

its not a 6 cylinder but a 5 Cylinder engine with either 165, 185 or 205 depends on what kind of Turbo it has a low boost or high boost

its not a show truck its a daily driver

Wating to get my brackets from LMC so the Driver side suspension can be mounted and it will see it first daylight in 5 Month

GmtGmt 03-01-2010 01:09 AM

Re: 84 Crew Cab Rebuild
 
Brackets from LMC came in friday, so got tranny, drive shaft and driver side suspension mounted and she saw daylight first time in 5 Mounths.

Sorry for the poor pics, but i cant really get my new camera to work proberly.

it felt good to see it with wheels on again a huge mile stone for the project
still alot to do and some parts have to replaced (center bearing, upper balljoints, control arm shafts etc) drive shaft have to painted, some spots on the frame have to get repainted, the last 4 brake lines have to be made and alot of more.

She aint no show stopper, but a work horse.

Wiring
 
Some hate it others dont might it but its always a pain in the A$$ on old cars and trucks because so many have been working on it before you
Oh Yes its the wiring harnes :lol:

Started out with this pile
http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...01_800x600.jpg
The PO's had just cut the wiring for the headlights at the junction box :crazy:
so cleaned up the remaning wire and solder the ends and going to do the same to the rest of headlight wiring and clean it up and change damage sockets.
http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...02_800x600.jpg

Anyone know what these are for they where under Dash
http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...03_800x600.jpg

this one has some kind of relay and 3 bulbs atacted
http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...07_800x600.jpg


Most of the wiring wasent so bad just need a clean up and the non factory wires removed and some soldering it came out pretty good
http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...08_800x600.jpg


Still have the wiring for the fuel tank selector valve and sendering units to clean up
http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...10_800x600.jpg

the wiring for the tail light was also just cut like the headlights cleaned up the ends and Soldering it togther
http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...11_800x600.jpg

Also was out tearing the donor cab part going to take it home in 2 weeks and then chassies should be finished by then. cab going to completely torn apart and send for sandblasting, it have the usual rust rockers and corners but thanks to LMC i have everything i need to repair it :devil:

Very cool to see this going on in Denmark of all places. How hard is it to legally drive this type of vehicle over there? I know the laws are rather prohibitive regarding emissions and safety on older vehicles in Europe.

GmtGmt 04-05-2010 08:26 AM

Re: 84 Crew Cab Rebuild
 
Emissions arnt too bad actuly. but its hard to get it on the road as it actuly weighes to much also there are 3 diffrent veichels it can be registed as first a Crew Cab and that means it MUST be registred to a Company and no peronal use, sec as a normal pickup but then i have to remove the rear seats, third as a Car

GmtGmt 04-09-2010 09:17 AM

Re: 84 Crew Cab Rebuild
 
Bought all the remaning chassie parts

front brake hoses, 2 upper ball joint and glow plugs

hoping to start the engine monday, changed oil and primed the oil on as it have been sitting 7 mounths now, the engine and just send my exhurst manifold to machine shop so i can get flanges for 2 new turbo manifolds

got both alternator and power steering pump monted and misc stuff

its getting there hoping about 5 weeks then she is road worthy

Wow, that sounds crazy.
Can you register it as a regular truck, then put the seat back in until the registration is due again?
