Within 30 seconds from my house. My dad sold it to a guy, and he has been a year coming to get it, so money went back to him, ours again. Money actually came out of my pocket.

 

so, parting it out orrrr???



Really getting anxious to get ˟˟˟˟ done on this pile. Getting together quite a few parts now.

planning on having everything ready for the axle swaps in the next month, and spend a solid weekend or so getting them shoved under it.

I have springs located, just need to pick them up. Of course, they are hours away from home.

I've decided to spend a little more time, and a little less money by building more of the parts instead of ordering them. I'm going to start with front spring hanger, rear leaf hangers, and shackle mounts.

A few guys on the local board are trying to get a group buy lined up for a few sets of H1's from TrailWorthy. If that goes through, I'm really going to have to speed things up

 

You got it, I'm taking the front end off of it to fix mine.

 

Parts for the Dana 60 ordered, pinion bearings, crush sleeve, seals, kingpin bushings, u joints.

Pulled the 14 bolt apart tonight, got the wonderful surprise of a locker! I really thought it was going to end being an open diff. It's a factory gov lock, so it's no Detroit or anything.

Hoping to pick up a few parts this weekend from an 02 1/2 ton gmc.

Also scored a free L99 waterpump, pending warranty call back...

 

Nice, can't wait to get started can you? The axle will be great when you're done. As it's said, no pics, didn't happen. Lol!!!!!!! Have fun!!!!!!

 

New shaft joints




Got the front axle pinion set up tonight, and carrier dropped in.

 

Looks good! Hope everything goes well. Might have a broken bolt or two! Lol

 

I just had it in pulling the tires, I'm a ways off from the fun stuff.

 

The fun stuff is what it's all about.

 

Picked up a few things today.

14bolt srw hubs
Dana 44 calipers and rotors

Picking up a fuel pump and lines tonight.

 

H1's ordered! should see them next weekend

 

time to get serious.

 

Nice!!

 

spent a little time at the u pull it today. got two sets of springs. One from a late 80's xtra cab pickup, and a set from a T100. The T100 springs are much longer, and also thinker springs. They will be cut down, and added to the pack of older springs.

Also tried pulling a set of springs from a 90's 3/4 chevy, but my sawzall ran out of battery about 1/2 through cutting the shackles. hopefully it's still there in a week or so when I can make it back.

Picked up a PCM from a 99 silverado as well.

Brought home a lsx harness from a local board member, as well as most of a fuel system. Walbro 255, inline filter, and a bunch of -8an line and fittings.

 

Nice! What U-pull it do you go to? Im not sure where syracuse, NE is? I usually go to the U-pull it in Omaha. I would be down for scouring through the yards sometime with ya.

 

I was at the Lincoln yard. they had a 87 pickup, 89 4runner, 96 4runner, and a t100

I'm actually in Auburn, NE now. south of omaha about an hour or so.

 

Yea I got some good ˟˟˟˟˟ off that runner and truck. Nice wheel and tire setup. Your going extreme. Hope it works!!

 

Hard to beat for the price. Three of us went in on a group buy, and my set was under $1000, and I gave $50 for gas money for another guy to pick them up.

 

Spent a couple days in the local U-Pull it.

-87 48" rear springs
-T100 51" rear springs
-63" 3/4 chebby springs

Also picked up a new pair of seats for the parts delivery beater out of an Isuzu Rodeo.



Spent a day at Tuttle Creek ORV park a few weeks ago with some square body guys from the local forum.





Learned a few things to keep in mind with my build:
-need a pinion guard
-take two drive shafts.
-I NEED to shave the 14 bolt
-be prepared for dents and scratches
