Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
I'm going to see if I can get out of work early to check out the cab and make my final payment for the work Sky has done. I will get some picture while I'm their. Then I have to get the body home Saturday. Do some repairs on my 98 dodge so I can sell it. Next week end install the seats, steering wheel column and see how it all feels. Then look at getting it painted.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
Well their was a misunderstanding about the body work being done. What he told me was the body work on the cab is done 2 more doors to go then prime block sand and prime then it will be ready for paint. but it is looking good.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
Cab is looking sweet. Shouldn't be long now. Yup, the whole bodywork thing is a time killer. I swear it would cost less to take a couple bodywork classes, buy materials, practice and do it ourselves. And that's even considering I hate sanding!!!!
Good luck! Chris

I can work Bondo and do good job of it. I watched my brother when he would repair cars back in the day and he showed me some tricks that has come in handy over the years.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
I worked on the exhaust today and finished up the mounting locations 4 on each side started grinding the welds and I think I found the 2nd most hated thing I don't like doing is grinding. Each weld is a 3 step process grinding the weld with grinding disk then sanding disk and finally polycarbide abrasive wheel.
I think I will do 4 weld a week until in finish to break up the work. |

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
Fuel tank is going in the back it will be about 18" wide 42" long the front will angle in at the shocks at a bout 45 degrees to clear the exhaust I should end up with a 5300 cubic inches of space I think it end up 25 gallons.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
No work done on the truck last week end had to work. Now that the job is signed off and they are moving in I will have some free time this coming week end to get some work done and deliver some part to 1 of the members.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
The tranny is junk. Can't even remove the torque converter from the 727. I boxed the A904 and 727 to ship them back. The 727 is under warranty the A904 hopefully they will give me some money back.
As for the truck I did get my power steering pump pulley installed and the belt that came with the Vintage Air kit fits. |

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
Yes it does. But we have it down to 1 hour to remove and about 1 & half hours to put it back in.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
Almost something you don't want to be good at, hope you get it straightened out soon while summer is still here to use the car.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
Wow, that sucks for sure.
 Hope you get your money back, or at least some of it. (Pretty impressive swap-out time though!)
