Re: My 56 6bt 4X4 build.
Im going to get a new steering box from borgenson and get a fe allignment done and see how it drives . My biggest push to do it is when you turn the truck all the way to the right the drivers tire rubs the pitman arm . Common on these 55 to 59 trucks with 80's gm powersteering box swapped in . It only really seems to do it when you are backing into your spot at the local cruze nite . Makes a nice grinding ,rubbing noise as the truck comes to a stop half in half out your parking space ... Makes you look like a real pro ....

Re: My 56 6bt 4X4 build.
Hey 56!
Just wanting to check in! Hope all is well with you and your family. I was just thinking this morning how cool it would be for our two trucks to get there pictures taken side by side. Maybe one day we can make that happen. Any new developments on your truck? I know you are dead in the middle of boating season so you are probably busy with that. Maybe you have an obligatory boat hauler picture to show us. Talk to you later, Will

Re: My 56 6bt 4X4 build.
So I thought I would thro in a current pic . Just a excuse to figure out how my new I pad works . Lol. Nothing new outside . There is finially a 4x4 shifter sticking out of the floor tho.
Here is a pic of my new project . I'm missed the truck that donated its driveline to the 56 so I have been poking around for the rite old truck. Here it is . Rather straight 1st gen. Cummins auto 4x4. Need s ad rivers floor pan and definitely paint. It it's a good platform for a solid old farm truck to be. I will likely start a thread in alternates for sumtin to do.

Re: My 56 6bt 4X4 build.
more old truck . I will likely start a thread once I do more than just wash it .
It really seems like a good old truck . Power everything and it even works ! Some brake work and a drivers side floor pan and a coat of paint and good to go. Im thinking flat green army style . The wife not so much . Lol.

The white will fade just like a memory and look more like it fits in all the time.

Re: My 56 6bt 4X4 build.
Trucks at Oro was last nite. I was there. It was good. But very cold! I will have to make it to Coldwater this year. Two weeks today I think. Hopefully one of these years I can pull with mine too.

Re: My 56 6bt 4X4 build.
So this wknd was the coldwater fair truck pull. What a great nite. Weather couldn't have been any nicer. Got a chance to hook the old girl to the sled again. Once again the truck is super lite Even with me in it the truck only weighed in at 5400 lbs. I was in the diesel up to 8500 class. Well the old blue truck did good. Out of 35 trucks I am sure I was in the top 12 or so at 244 ft.
Good fun. Here's a vid. . http://youtu.be/lSCtaPFE6LU

Re: My 56 6bt 4X4 build.
Yep she doesn't lite the world on fire off the line but she did a good job lugging down the line. The new rubber made all the difference I think. The tall skinny BFGs bit well. I really want to install the fuel pin and gov spring but I'm afaraid that will be the end of the getrag.

The governor spring should actually help the old 'rag as I don't think they like to lug - at least they don't sound like it. |
