yep Lake Orion, about an hour away. I got a big box of stainless steel brake lines today

 

put together the rear springs today, i used 3 of the chevy leafs and 3 of the leafs off the stock ford springs.

 

got the spring hangers bolted to the frame and its back out to 133" wheelbase. Took the heads off the old 360 and having them rebuilt.

 

got my heads cleaned up and rebuilt.

 

Right on ERW its almost been a year since you started this thread and you've made great progress, thanks for sharing it keeps me inspired. saving my nickle and dimes rebuilding these trucks is anything but cheap yo.

p.s
420 posts haha!!

 

painted core support and hood mounts with duplicolor bed liner. Ive tried the rustoleum bed liner and didnt like it as much, it wasnt as tough as the duplicolor bed liner.

 

took the cab off yesterday, should have done that a long time ago. I thought i could get away with not taking the cab off but it just felt like something wasnt finished.





then took whats left of the truck to the power washer, the little jeep was struggling i wouldnt want to tow any more weight with it.

Best build thread yet...key thing I like is you put pictures,I'm not a reader so the pics are awesome....with out a doubt this is one of the coolest builds I've seen

 

GREAT JOB, i just read all 17 pages man and loving it its giving me GREAT ideas, im considering putting my '78 cab and clip on a newer bronco frame so ill have all the comforts of smooth daily driving, realiable 4x4 set up, swb for trail running and plus bronco parts are EVERY WHERE and cheap as well what do you think?

 

ttb bad news man

 

ive had 3 trucks with the ttb and to tell you the truck i love them thats why im thinkin of going this for alot of people the ttb is not understood so they trash what they dont know

 

I would think you'd want sa for trails instead if ttb..

 

i guess someone has to like TTb huh? yuk.

 

well i live in south texas bout an hour from houston there arnt many wooded trails like yall are thinkin mainly mud and sand, i prefer the ttb since it is going to be an everyday driver i had a sa truck it was alright but the ttb for me seemed to like what i did with it better

this is what i want mine to look like its damn near the same color as this one
