So a little info about the truck and stuff :P

I have posted here a few times and everyone has been very helpful so i thought i would make a truck to track my progress.


Little info about myself i'm 19 and just doing this sort of thing for fun this is a very low budget build as my other car eats up most my cash lol.

Bought this truck a little while ago and needed to do some repairs to pass inspection rear brakes, a cv boot (made quite the mess cleaning the joint out), u joint, both rear park brake cables and a pesky axle seal damn pinion lock bolt or w/e it's called. This truck will be on the road soon! just waiting for the special tool to setup backlack and preload then i can go to town with a dial indicator and some gear marking compound...

I only have one bad picture for now but i will post more up on monday when it's light out and i can take some better ones.


Here are some rims and tires i picked up today for 150$ i had the stock ones on there before and just wanted something a little wider and taller.

 

Cool! What kind of tires are they and what size?

 

255/70/r16 pacemark rims and tires

 

Here are some pics of me putting everything back together



That's how it stands right now think i'm going to get some leaf springs and crank the torsion bars to lift it a little bit

Damn that dial indicator was expensive 270$ for the stand and indicator anyone know stillen tools?


Ohh ya i still haven't got my interior lights/dash lights working if anyone has any more tips.. replaced headlight switch and checked grounds and fuses i'm stuck

 

What were you reading out in this picture?

Lol, I paid $15 for my dial indicator and magnetic stand at harbor freight! Cheap one but it works.

 

I don't know of Stillen Tools. Is it a Store or is it the brand of the dial indicator? Starrett is the Cadillac of Machining tools. I could expect that price for a Starrett.

 

Ya sounds right for a Starrett. Cant believe you actually forked over the cash for one of those. Anyways... I gotta have some info on those wheels. I Googled Pacemark wheels and only found references to tires. Those are exactly the style I've been looking for. Anything you tell me would be appreciated. Thanks
