Ole Blue's Makeover
Well the time is finally HERE!!!! YEEHAWWW!!!! I started the official rebuild of Ole Blue on 12/26/2011. Here he is when he found his new home
The first thing on the agenda was the heart. Gotta have the fluid pumpin at all times & in good shape. Don't want any heart attacks, strokes etc....

Re: Ole Blue's Makeover
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

Re: Ole Blue's Makeover
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.

Re: Ole Blue's Makeover
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 got the rocker panel moved down where it's suppose to be & just tacked in Console mocked up Fuel line & wiring ran
