Disgusting Radiator Fluids

Rockers Look in Good Shape. Look at That Disgusting Carb!

Probably the Cleanest Spot on the Truck

Hooking Up Some Crap

Old School Front End

Steering Wheel and a Big Speedometer Gauge

Towing it Over to the R&D Guys

Me With the Truck in Town

Working on Cleaning Everything Up Under There

Had to Really Swing the Hammer to Get the Drum Off

New Mirrors Installed

Old Disgusting Radiator Hoses

Super Clean Clean

Painted Manifold Red

Aligning and Mounting

Going to Do the Valve Covers Next

Original Valve Cover - Wire-brushed and Sanded

Masking the Letters for Painting

Black on Red - I Think it Looks Pretty Good

Not Bad for My First Time Messing with Painting and Masking In General

All Installed With the Completely Dunked and Rebuilt Carb

I Think It Looks Pretty Good

Removed the Bench Seat

Drilled Some Holes and Mounted Seat Belt Brackets

Finishing Up Seatbelts

Sitting in the Shell Station - Inspection Day

Temporary Brakelights That Were Installed Over at the Shell Station

Wiring Harness Installed for Brakelights

I Think They Looked Ugly... So Let's Get Modifying

Original Tail Light Housing

Cut a Hole, Made a Bracket, & Installed the Second Bulb

It Should Work...

After Rewiring A Ton Underneath the Truck, I Hooked Up The Modified Assembly

Sweet! It Works! I Took This Shot As the Left Blinker Was On

New Free-Flowing Y-Block Headers - 1 5/8" Primaries With 3" Collector

3.5" Stainless Steel Slash-Cut Tips

Looks Clean, Tips Ending Right At The Bumper

Mandrel Bent Pipes Are Unnecessary Unless You Really Need to Pack Every Little Horsepower Out of Your Engine

Two Magnaflow Mufflers - Smallest Ones They Have - Straight-Through Design - Really Loud

Complete True-Dual Exhaust System All Welded Up - Nice and High for When I Drop the Truck Down

Checking the RPMs As I Tune the Engine

Engine Looking Clean with New or Painted Parts

New 8mm Wire Set Installed - And a Heavier Duty Return Spring for the Throttle Was Installed

Shot Taken 070928 - Oh And the Horn Started Working

Removed the Dented Up Fender

Before Attempting to Bang Out the Dent

Removed All the Wheels for Painting

The Sort-Of Bashed In Front End and The Somewhat Fixed Left Fender

Long Story - Temporary Solution

With the New Headers in the Way, There Might Be Some Trouble Getting At the Oil Filter

The Magnaflow Mufflers

Had to Drill A New Hole for the Brake Line Because of Clearance Issues

Steering Stabilizer Rigged Up - Couldn't Mount It In Between the Axle and Bar So Just Put It On Top

It Was Impossible to Get That Last Dented Lip Out - Eventually A New Fender Will Replace This One

Some Wiring for the Tail Lights

Continued Wiring For the Tail, Brake, and Turn Lights

Engine - 071006

Old Weatherstrip Removed - Door Was Also Realigned

Cleaned Glove Compartment

The Four Old Wheels

Masking Off the Tire - Ready for Paint

First Coat Applied

Dupli-Color Low-Gloss Black Seemed to Work Well

Masked Off the Tire with the Random White Wheel - All the Wheels Were Wire-brushed and Cleaned Before Painting

New Cab Mounts - Previously There Were NO Mounts

I Was Really Lucky to Find Matching Paint At the Local Auto Store - A Quick Spray-On For Temporary Looks

Its Absolutely Nowhere Near Perfect, But For Now Its Fine

There Used to Be a Giant Faded White Spot Here. A Real Quick Spray-Paint Job Solved it Temporarily

Removed the Old Moulding. Will Be Using Bondo to Patch Up the Holes

Fixed the Door Handle Mechanism

Both Handles Installed on Both Sides

New Emblem Lettering Piece

Both License-Plate Lights Working

Taillights Now Work

New 10" Clutch Kit

The Good Fender, Emblem, and Mirror

Emblem and Mirror

Transmission - Getting Ready for Removal

The Heavy End of the Transmission

Shifter Linkages and Arms Removed

Simple Tranny Jack

Snugly Fit Around the Transmission

Unbolted, and Pulled Out

Input Shaft and Bellhousing

The Clutch Inside, With the Arm Covered With Some Sort of Furry Material

Transmission Removed

Notice the Little Rust on the Shaft

Tons of That Odd Material Jammed into the Clutch - As If Something Had Nested In Here When the Truck Was in Storage

Fortunately, The Bolts Weren't a Pain to Get Out

Clutch Removed, Flywheel Inside

Flywheel with Its Pits and Tiny Imperfections

All I Plan to Do is Use a Wirebrush for a Cheap Resurfacing Solution

Teeth Are In Relatively Great Shape

Notice the Pits, Probably Caused by the 15 Years in Which the Truck Sat

New Clutch Installed - View Through the Bellhousing

New Clutch - Notice On the Right A Bolt Missing, I Accidentally Snapped It in the Flywheel, Had to Use a Drill to Get it Out

Purple Springs - Weird

All Components Lined Up Perfectly

Had to Cut this Little Section Out of the Crossmember In Order to Slide the Old Parts Out

Old Window Anti-Rattle Strips

New Strips Installed Cleanly

Before I Had a Serious Window Rattling Problem - Now It's Sealed Tight and Quiet

Transmission Removed Again To Diagnose an Odd Thumping/Grinding Noise That Was Coming From It

Teeth Are In Good Shape - Some Gears Were Slightly Chewed on the Ends From Grinding

See the Synchronizers? Turns Out the Needle Bearings Supporting Them Fell Out!

Transmission Reassembled and Headed Back Under the Truck

Photograph Taken Nov. 10, 2007

Notice the New Lug Nuts

Dad Falling Asleep After a Ride

First Touch of Snow

Heavy Snow the Following Weekend

Back in the Garage - Work Doesn't Stop

Replacement Universal Joint

Pressing Out the Old Bearings

New U-Joint Installed

Door is About to Be Removed For New Weatherstripping

Passenger Door Removed

Laid Out on Stands - Ready for Grinding/Wire-brushing, Cleaning, and Gluing on the New Weatherstrip

Weatherstrip Being Installed

Weatherstrip Glued on Around the Edge of the Door - The Clamps Hold Tight Areas Where the Weatherstrip Would Otherwise Pull Apart

Nicely Glued Weatherstripping

The Trick is To Apply the Glue Evenly, and Especially Not to Rush. The Final Result is a Very Tough Bond

Passenger Door Ready to Be Reinstalled

Cab Corners Are Notorious for Rust

Fortunately These Corners Don't Have Too Much Rust

Too Cold to Work Outside

Pulled Off the Wheel, Drum/Hub, Brake Carrier Plate, Steering Arm, etc...

Brake Carrier Plate is Suspended to Prevent Brake Hose Damage

Disgusting Old Worn Spindle

Time to Begin the Front End Rebuild

I-Beam Axle Removed

The King Pins Are Shot - The Spindles Barely Turn

Axle & Spindles Cleaned Up a Bit

Front Spring Shackles Removed

It Was a True Workout Getting the Axle Off the Leaf Springs

Old (and Bent) Shackle

Probably the Original Bushing from 40+ Years Ago - Completely Worn Out

Stock Image Ready for Photoshop

Lowered Approximately 6"

New Kingpins Installed

The Stripping Process Begins

And After Two Days of Exhausting Labor, We Now Have a Bare Front Axle

Taking This Piece Down to Metal Was A Serious Pain in the Ass

Painting the Axle

After This It'll Get One More Coat to Fill in the Nicks

Epoxy Enamel Is the Right Stuff For This Job - It Bonds Like Crazy and Becomes A Hard Shell, Protecting the Axle From Road Debris

Axle Is Complete - Ready for Reinstallation

New Bushings Pressed Into Leaf Springs

New Shackles Installed

Leaf Springs & Axle Reassembled

And Everything Else Bolted Back On...

Slammed & Shaved - Sitting on Asphalt

Completely Rebuilt Transmission - Ready to Be Bolted In

Getting the Transmission Ready to Install

Transmission Is Finally Back In the Truck

The Speedometer Works Now As Well
