Re: Attempting my first build 72 K5
He guys, so i had a few set backs with wrong parts and things like that. I also was on vacation for 18 days and just got back yesterday. (Rome, Sicily, and Croatia)
This weekend I should be able to get the front leafs springs on. I received the correct size bushings from ORD this time. Wasn't there fault that original ones didn't fit.
The axle was powered coated 60% gloss black. I have a local guy reassembling my gears and axles. The rear axle is having all new seals and bearings, as well as a ring and pinion master installation kit. I'll be picking this up today from him.
My goal this weekend is to have the following done:
1. Install front leaf springs and finish assembling the front axle hubs and wheels
2. Run the new stainless steel brake and fuel lines from Inline Tube.
3. Install the new polyurethane gas tank.
4. Install the rear axle, assemble the new drum brakes, parking brakes.
5. Install the new rear leaf springs
I'm pretty confident I can get all this done, since I should have a couple extra hands helping me out.
