Thanks. Ive gotten some more stuff done just havent had a chance to take any photos. I will get them up soon.

 

I still need to post up pictures of the carb, and my first two trips off road. I just havent had time. I do need some advice though. I worked mids last night for a 12 hour shift in the rain. It was the first somewhat cool night we have had this year. I was soaked and looking forward to getting in my truck and turning the heat on. Well that was a no go. On defrost it will blow luke warm air. You swith it to heat it blows nothing, switch to Bi level or vent and it will blast you with cold air. I have no idea about the heating system on these old trucks. Can anybody help me with this? Thanks in advance.

 

Very nice lookin yota you got there!

 

Thanks. I need to get back to working on it. I havent had a chance to do to much here lately. Got some big plans coming for the new year though. I picked up a second job just to fund my hobby as well as relearn all the fab work i have forgotten sinced I joined the military. So i will be interested to see how I do.

 

it almost brought a tear to my eye seeing the lowers of the bed cut off, but man that thing looks tough as nails!

 

Yea i wouldnt have cut them, but it was already done when I got the truck. I cant wait to get started back on the truck. I havent done much to it in the past 5 months. Its all OD green now. My rear axle is tracking crooked by about 2 inches. I think it has to do with the way they put the lift on so that is something i have got to fix asap. I will put some pictures up this week sometime. If anybody has had this problem I could use a bit of advice. I already replaced the centerpins, but I know its got to be in the u bolt and spring perch area. Right??

 

sounds like you have a lot of cross measuring to do. maybe the rear end got knocked a little out of whack on a stump or something. worst case, could be a bent frame from a previous accident? by the way, knoxville rocks, great place to visit.

 

Well Im staying positive with the two drunk hillbillies put the lift on all out of wack. LOL.. I hope its not the other.

 

Finally got started back on the toy agian. I picked up or built all the parts and got my 63 chevy swap completed over the weekend. The swap wasnt as bad as i thought it would be. I however did find out why my axle was shifting so bad. The spring hanger was bent pretty bad. I found some frame rot that I am gonna have to patch as well. I also mounted some lights on the top of my fenders.

 

So I have finally got my RUF swap complete. It ended up moving my tires and wheels up about 2.5 inches. I went ahead and trimmed the front fenders in preparation for my new wheels and tires. I ordered 5 TrailworthyFab Hummvee wheels and 5 37s to put on it. Ok enough here are some pics!

 

wondering if you ever looked into JC Whitney for seat brackets....looking to put similar seats in my 92 project

 

Hey good looking build are you using the stock spring hangar looked like it but couldn't tell.

 

any updates on this build? Looking good.
