The 4 pictures below shows the painted frame with some of the components back on. The shocks and assorted brackets were reinstalled as well as new fuel lines, brake lines and hoses.

I chose to buy brake tubing and gravel guard in bulk and made my own lines. Much cheaper than buying preformed kits and they came out great! I chose regular steel over stainless steel and clear coated them with clear POR 15 so they stay nice looking.


I finally located a good used rear driveshaft section from an ebay seller so I can cross that off the list. I would have had the old one repaired however I couldn't find any place local that does this so a used one will do just fine.

Everytime I find a 1 ton in a junkyard, it's too late as they already picked the trucks up and bent the shafts. I'm thinking these places can't sell too many driveshafts. ???


I'm happy to say that I will be putting the cab back on within a few days and the engine & transmission soon after. I thought this day would never get here!
