59bisquik Posted April 16, 2019 Report Posted April 16, 2019 Copycat lol! Those look nice on there. They will also help fill up the fender wells. I think they look kinda silly with the stock skinnies. I dont know what offset you went with, but I had to roll my fender lips to make them fit without rubbing. Quote

The back spacing is 4 inches, tires will be slightly lower profile since the rims are 16" rather than 15", I'm hoping I won't have any tire rubbing though. If I do, there will be some rolling going on ? 1 Quote

Ha, ha, I'm sure that will be in Tugs future, there's way too much room at the top of the wheel arch. Btw, that motor runs sweet, starts right up, just a tad of throttle, and brum, brum, brum, every time. 1 Quote

Pull the second from the bottom leaf spring up front and you should close up some of that gap. The back is just as easy... just takes a couple hours. I would start spraying PB Blaster or similar on the axle u-bolts now! Quote

peteandvanessa Posted April 21, 2019 Author Report Posted April 21, 2019 Headlights in and wired, tug goes to the garage next week to fix the brake leak, and have twin exhausts fitted, then it's brum brum time. Wiring is about 90% complete Quote

peteandvanessa Posted August 24, 2019 Author Report Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) Not posted in a while, I guess I've been too busy working on my truck. Here's a few things I've done over the last few months. Cut the steel bed out and replaced it to some new wood. Used poplar from Lowe's and stainless strips from the web Fixed the two side windows with new glass. Fixed all the gauges and sourced a used speedometer All the exterior and gauge and blinkers lights working now Replaced the rear shocks, they were really bad. Cleaned up the interior and made some temporary seat covers. See, I've been busy ? Edited August 24, 2019 by peteandvanessa 1 Quote
