Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"

Man I love those front ends! It looks great! This style front end parts are getting pretty hard to find used any more.

I got a hell of a deal on the parts, 1 mallard for the parts. I had been looking at the front end at a salvage yard that we buy from for a while I just didn't want to put in the labor to change out good parts.

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"

Well, i have made a little progress this week not near what i had planned. Still better than being at work.

Dropped front springs in. Supposed to be 2" drop looks more like 3 plus, which is ok.

Drive shaft figured out, now it needs to go to the driveshaft shop.

Instrument cluster plug reppined for the new electric speedo cluster. I succsefully made that hour long job into three hours. While i was tracing out the pins on the old cluster the fedex woman showed up with a box, while dealing with that i managed to get confused when i went back to work on the cluster. needles to say i had a bunch of pins in wrong place and took a while to get it straightened out.

Drilled and tapped the passenger head to 3/8 pipe for the temp sensor.

Rear shackles should be here tomorrow.

I'll try and post some new pics tomorrow.
