Re: Started on the 71 4x4 SB
Thanks Meanie, its getting there. I have the rear all together now, and the new brake drums and brake hose here. Waiting on my e-brake cables and the back end will be done.
Once I get the rest of the frame done it should go quick, the body is solid other than cab corners. I have the blame for that, I welded the whole cab up in 1988, and knew the corners were marginal but they still looked good so I left them, now I get to put new cab corners on Shoulda done it when I did the rest of the cab, it would just be a clean up now.

Re: Started on the 71 4x4 SB
This week, front axle.
I pulled it out for painting and new polyutherthane bushings. Its wild when you actually own a truck long enough to have to put a SECOND set of polyurethane bushings in LOL However, the front C-bushings after about 20 yrs now have loosened up, so it's time for a fresh set.
