Got a little more done over the holidays ( I hope everybody had a Wonderful Christmas & New Year ). The front end is now completely rebuilt, new upper & lower control arms, ball joints etc... etc... My batteries went dead in my camera before I could get pictures of the finished front end but here are a few before it went dead. I am now running 3" drop springs & drop shocks

Also got the rear finished up. Put new axles, bearings & races, all seals, Detroit Posi with Richmond 3.73 ring & pinion & 5" drop springs & drop shocks. We didn't have to move the shock brackets & like I said, my batteries went dead before I could get all the pictures I wanted to take.

Thanks feller. My best friend is really flyin, lol. I helped on the mechanic work but I'm just helpin & learnin on the body work, don't know much about it. My DD '89 truck blowed a head gasket so I won't be able to help on Ole Blue for a few days as I gotta get insurance on my backup truck, change the oil in my suburban & fix the heads on my '89 but he's takin pictures & gonna put em on a disc for me. I took the B&M Hammer shifter, cab bushings, sound deadner & por-15 up to him yesterday. I'll keep ya'll posted as best I can.

MONTE · 01-05-2012, 09:55 AM

Whats up with the rear wheels, they look nice. What size is that on wheel and tire? I need to upgrade mine with tubs.

They are 15X12 with 7.5 backspacing, 5X5 lug pattern. The tires are Hoosier 31/16.5/15. All I had to do is cut one rib out of my bed & get two more wheel tubs to widen my two. Thank you for the compliment. I hope to have more pictures tomorrow.

Camaro_nut2001 · 01-08-2012, 01:05 PM

I went up to my buddy's that's doin Ole Blue & took a few pictures. He is movin right along. While I was there I had to get some " Hands On " time so I ran the wiring for the fuel pump, gauge & ran the 1/2" aluminum line. I also got the fuel filter mounted where the heater box used to be. My buddy didn't weld the holes up in case I ever wanted to put the heater assembly back on. He cut some polished aluminum & put over the holes so I could mount my filter & regulator. He also got my shifter console mocked up & I think it looks great!! He's gonna fiberglass over the wood, filler & gel coat smooth & paint it to match my interior color. Here is where we're at now.

Got the new bushings in & por15 painted on the frame under the cab & got the cab back on

He is movin right along. While I was there I had to get some " Hands On " time so I ran the wiring for the fuel pump, gauge & ran the 1/2" aluminum line. I also got the fuel filter mounted where the heater box used to be. My buddy didn't weld the holes up in case I ever wanted to put the heater assembly back on. He cut some polished aluminum & put over the holes so I could mount my filter & regulator. He also got my shifter console mocked up & I think it looks great!! He's gonna fiberglass over the wood, filler & gel coat smooth & paint it to match my interior color. Here is where we're at now. Got the new bushings in & por15 painted on the frame under the cab & got the cab back on He got the rocker panel moved down where it's suppose to be & just tacked in Console mocked up Fuel line & wiring ran __________________ 1969 Chevy SWB Big Block - Under the knife as of 12/26/2011 1989 Chevy Silverado, 4X4 - Daily Driver 1996 Chevy Suburban K1500 - 4-Wheeler, Campin Truck 1968 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe - 327/350hp, TH400, all original.
