Saw the truck on TV the other night.

 

Thanks

Yah. It was at the end of Wheeler Dealers in Velocity Channel. Lol

 

4" turbo exhaust fender dump. will get powder coated satin black


started changing body bushings... one down, 7 more to go.


The rest of the old body bushings out, except for the two very back ones. Which I will do at a later date, since I can't get to them at this time


And the new ones all installed... Minus the two back ones

 

Re-mounting the front air ride valves in the frame rail and out of the way of things.


And the other one done... Now just to reroute the lines from the tank, and wire the switches back up to them

 

You just keep plugging away, it is looking good.

 

thanks.



Air lines from tank rerouted, and valve wiring rerouted and wired back up. Now just to reroute the battery power cable for air compressors and the air ride should be done again... Until I redo the whole back half again. Lol

 

Got the power cable for the compressors rerouted to the front frame horn, and will finish that once i get the engine in and the radiator core support back on.
Also got the gas tank pulled back out, and cleaned out again


Rear frame rails cleaned up... Cut and grinded down the welds and the rest of the trailer hitch that used to be on it that I cut off when I first started driving it. Now to figure out how I'm going to remount the gas tank, then repaint everything


Just remembered I had bought these gas tank straps new when I first got the gas tank to put in and never did. Well I ended up doing something else and not using them, which I kinda didn't like after doing it. Guess I will use them this time around when I remount the gas tank. Just gotta make some bracket/tabs for the frame so I can use them.

 

Think it got bent a little bit from catching on something while riding low, and I think that license plate light lens got a little bit warm. Lol. Time to remove the lense, bend the plate bracket back, and reinforce it with some 1/4" plate


That's better... 1/4" plate welded on. Now just to repaint, and reinstall it. Will cut a square hole for a receiver hitch later on down the road

 

Frame rails painted, and license plate bracket painted and reinstalled

 

just got done making mounts for the tank so I can use actual gas tank straps. already dropped the tank so I can put a couple bolts in two of the mounts, and sprayed a little paint on them. now its done. will probably spray a bit of paint on the tank as well so it doesn't look so bad. lol
