O k thx.

 

one step closer to installing a d60 in my truck. recieved a pair of wagner thermo quiet loaded calipers, that i ordered from rock auto today. paid 40.74 shipped for both calipers. major steal!

all i have left to get is 1 cam bolt for one of the lower control arms, as the PO snapped the nut off trying to remove it, and just left it.

rotors, wheel bearings, new wheel studs, a sway bar from a 96, so i have the correct setup, and swap my tires over to the 8 lug rims!

cant wait!!!!!

 

^^^ You should convert to locking hubs/conventional bearings before the swap in

Bought a set of 35" tires for $400 today, little larger then i wanted but the price was right and i needed tires before it snows! Also got all the stuff to fix my rotted out exhaust, todays garage job!

 

i would love to, but unfortunately its wicked hard to source older parts like that around here. not much older stuff in the yards anymore.

it may be a future option though. just gonna run it as is. its going to be all brand new from the knuckles out anyway.

 

I hauled out the driver's seat base because it's been a crater since I bought it... the steel mufker that the foam rides on and the springs hold? Not even there!

So for the time being it's sporting a shameful hillbilly fix, a small piece of plywood and some tie wire. The seat's no longer a crater -- it's more like a park bench.

 

Replaced both liscence plate lights that melted themselves off some time ago.

 

Melted???

 

HAHAHA! That made me laugh lol. I want to see pictures!

 

i attempted to fix the exhaust on my ramcharger. i made it so the exhaust wont fall off on me but it is still leaking so it is loud. when i stomp on it you hear the beast roar. hoping to use some muffler cement., pop cans and muffler clamps to seal it up.
