I guess I could do that! Are you going to keep the blue paint color for the truck? If so, I like em. If not - the blue on em will look out of place.

 

[DNFXDLI]

It is being repainted the original color.

 

[Austin]

Then you've gained my approval. Have you thought about their platinum antique series? Or is that too much bling?

EDIT: tis the American Platinum I was thinking of.

 

[DNFXDLI]

Don't care for the white or the short sweep.

I'd rather these given the choices.

I'd rather these given the choices.

Me as well....except for the green lighting.

 

[tankrsc]

I would vote for choice #2

Took the old axle shafts apart today...found out why one was a little stiff..hehehe. Not bad I suppose for being what I'm thinking is original.

Comparison of the Moser axles to the factory units. Mosers are also machined to accept full circle clips. I will be getting the shafts, clips and u-joints dry filmed.

Nice stuff. Those Moser's look well built.

I hope so!..it is an added precaution to avoid snapping a shaft.

Got confirmation today that NOS springs (front), tierods, all bushings, bumpstops, parking brake cables are being shipped.

What are you going to do that would snap a shaft?




Looks good! Probably one of the finest dent builds I have EVER seen.

Hey Duncan, I know you've been working on this thing for a few years now...do you have an eta on it....can't wait to see it done.

When it gets done....I am cutting no corners. Eg...rear springs....new pack broken apart and individual springs dry filmed. It's turning into more work than I imagined, but I think the end result will be worth it.

 

[Ridgerunner]

Duncan you are picking up a little speed

The body shop lit a fire...I have to have the rolling chassis done by the end of August..or Septemberish for them to take it..and at that point, I have to figure out if I have $$ for the bodyshop...if either doesn't happen, then it will be pushed back.

Ok....but Cliff's right....lots of activity lately....I think you gained a lot of ground....can't wait to see this thing.
