Time for an update...

Started working on it last week in preparation for Clayton.

The last time it ran was in February when I was summoned to rescue the party of asshats stuck at soggy bottom. Driving it back that night on the highway in 30* weather while covered in nastyness sucked ass...


After sitting for almost 10 months I ended up having to swap out the fuel pump, regulator, and rebuild the accelerator pump/metering block on the carb just to drive it 20 feet to the shop.



List of stuff completed so far. Decided to knock out the fab work and least favorite tasks first.

-moved the front axle forward 1.5". Built custom 3/8" spring pad plates with 5/8" shank locating pins in addition to welding them in.
-built a new steering box brace.
-replaced front output seal on stak
-tore down the d60 to replace seals and bearings (waiting on parts to finish)
-installed new diff covers front and rear

Still to do
-FAST fuel injection
-PSC pump, reservoir, and cooler
-new hood


Might be adding a couple more things before the trip if I can decide...
