Buzz44 thanks for the kind words. My radiator support is original, springs were still there and look OK. ----TA455HO....I was in the Depot today - again - and they thanked me for shopping there, so I guess all is good...

 

Ahoy fellow enthusiasts. Today I scored a set of Dana 60 axles from a 78 / 79 F-250, front being high pinion, both 3:54 ratio. Thanks 1972RedNeck for talking sense about the Sterling / Dana 50.

 

I've never seen a shock do that front rust. That's kinda impressive.

Are you going to utilize the anti sway bar?

 

Dude you gotta get out more often, theres a whole world of interesting rust patterns in the NE of USA... Im kinda thinking the sway bar thing might be a good idea. He didn't have the front one so I'll maybe source one this year. Anything to help the Ox cart handling should help..??

 

Nice work so far

 

Thanks. Im still taking it apart and still stoked. Cant wait to drive this again in a few years.

 

Howdy all...been away for awhile, work and life stuff...ya know. Back in the garage for another round of teardown. As of today I am all the way to bare frame and tentative schedule next week for blasting and powder coating the frame. It's all "up hill" from here!

 

Looking on this thing. have you found the U shaped mount for the cab?
I looked a long time but never found any

 

Nope not yet. Luckily mine aren't terrible. I am probably going to mill new rubber mounts out of rubber stock. Need to find the original density numbers to get the correct stock. We'll see. Long way to go yet. Found out why my truck had so many grunts and groans, worn hangars for the leafs. Im sure theres more to the rattles than that but something to address.

 

Yup not reproduced searched for years everywhere not in existence unless you can find some NOS someplace.

 

Yes I got new shackles made for mine the pins had worn through
Good luck on the build

 

Totally stripped down and ready for blasting....and yes, that is a "former" home depot cart...

 

Looking good, making good progress. I haven't messed with mine its stuck in the corner of the yard.

 

I want to do this someday with my 64, looking forward to seeing what you do! im getting my origianl 292 rebuilt right now

 

Cleaning up the D60's. Tags are back from NCIS forensics team and oh yeah..winner winner chicken dinner!!
