Vehicle preperation for spring break????
So what is everyone working on to get the rigs ready for spring break???? I'm probably have to drive mine there, so i'm in the process of rebuilding the entire front axle. Ball joints, bearings, seals, New bushings in the front leaf springs and frame, new calipers, 1-ton master cylinder.
Also, started working on the Manual tranny swap. Had to take apart the whole dash and take out the steering column. I got all that back in and installed the new pedal assembly with the clutch and brake pedal.
Still have to find a fly-wheel in a junkyard. If anyone knows where any 2 or 4 wheel drive SM-465's that have a hyraulic clutch are let me know.
Other stuff i need to get done are, new rear bumper, put in the SM-465, put the front axle back together and rehang it, put a new line on the york, and mount some lights. I'd also like to put a cage in it, but that is a little far fetched since i lack the machine to do it. - Doug

sounds like he's using the rest of y'all as test dummies for when he builds his own :flipoff2: ...although...dave's did turn out nice
i probably wont be making a s/b trip but soon enough i need to replace my rear leaf springs, shorten my track bar and maybe get my frame straightened so my truck will actually point towards its destination, instead of 5 degrees to the left
