I went out to Pick N Pull and got another hub for the CV front end I am putting on it, I also picked up a couple of donut spares to put on it so i can keep it as a rolling chassis with out screwing up nicer rims.

Hopefully I can get out there tomorrow and finish getting the cab off so i can get the chassis ready for the IRS/IFS swap. I am trying to keep this project rolling along

Sanded and painted the two 15x6.5in Dodge Ram wheels for the rear of my Slick.

Tomorrow new 235/75R15s on the rear.

Keeping my oem 15x5.5in wheels up front with 225/70R15s.

Whitewalls all the way around.

 

I actually went to look in storage if my 427 Truck was still there!

Its been so long since I looked at it I was beginning to think it was all a dream . .

Kind of sad to have it sit for such a extended period, Its so covered in dust I barely recognized it.

Come January some how some way I will drag it out of the cobwebs. If I am unable to work on it then its time to sell it . . . over 5yrs since I have done much too it. 3yrs since I touched it . . Unreal the amt of dust that has collected on it.

By the time I get it out of storage I will have to call it a B A R N F I N D ! ! ! L O L

 

well if you just need someone to take sweet care of it i will, just for you buddy, i will treat her better than my wife and shes spoiled..... and thanks to my neighbor that runs a salvage yard/mechanic spot i have $140 less in my wallet but a brand new windshield in da twister so happy now that shes back to being able to drive down the highway without worrying about the local state trooper

 

I went out to work some more on getting the cab off of the chassis. I got one mor eof the cab mount bolts off then the grinder died. The bolts just sit there and spin and spin, so I have to cut the bolts. Still lots of work ahead. I picked up a new grinder but it was dark out so i called it a day.

I will continue the battle tomorrow

I'll let you know how I did. Thank you

 

Put new wheels and tires on the rear today. 235/75R15s on 15x6.5 Dodge Ram wheels.

Replaced the 80s F150 hubcaps with 67 Fairlane caps.

 

Rebuilt my heater core last night

 

Some more floor pan work.


Not sure what to do about the flange between the firewall and floor pan.



It was rotted out like the other side is here.

 

Drove it, 1st time in about 6 weeks.

Went out in the rain and washed her top to bottom. Rinsing was easy!

 

Came in first in the top five pick. Was a good day.
