Tearing out rear suspension to flip the axle, going to put all new bushings in leaf springs while apart got new u-bolts and spring perches on way. Scored some 16x10 steel wheels with 265/60/16 tires at swap meet this weekend for the rear for $160 I think they will look awesome. Hopefully going to get another uni this weekend for parts has good front fenders,hood and doors the rest will be parts somebody put a 350 chevy in it and caved in the firewall for the distributor what a waste lol.

 

hey crazyF250, were your cab mount bushing saveable or did you have to get new ones? if you got new ones where did you find them??

 

They were saveable does lmc or autokrafters carry them?

 

hadnt heard of autokrafters, seems like they have alot of good stuff, they do have a cab to frame mount kit, however ive read on another parts site(carolina classics to be exact) that there was a diffferent cab to frame mounting kit and the one they carried would only fit non unibody 61-63. wonder if youve ever heard of this or if its bogus?

 

Yes they are different I notice LMC showed for mounts for none unibody so not sure who would have them haven't looked real hard yet.

 

Upper cushions, lower absorbers (both rubber) and mounting hardware. 66 is a Uni, 81 is a Conventional Cab.

If parts are not listed specifically for 66 or 81, will be the same for both.

 

Got rear 8.8 disc brake rear in, not permantly just so I can roll it around planning on taking body off frame after I get passenger floor pan done so body is lil more solid, gotta notch rear frame for some clearance. I think it looks pretty sweet with the rear wheels.

 

few more pics, these are all cell phone pics so far not to bad but could be clearer.

 

Looks great I really need to get back to mine

 

Love these trucks. Looks like you are making some nice progress on this one!
