Who is doin the gearbox and t/case and how much?
Get a good clutch and put your driveshafts in for balancing

The flywheel should be ok with low klms.
I used one of those heavy duty Exedy clutch kits and it feels really good now.
It also got rid of some noises diesel gearboxes make,like a grinding/groaning noise as you accellerate away.

Does your chassis have a spot for a spare tyre?

Z()LTAN · 04-30-07, 05:55 AM

havnt got quotes on the boxes as yet,

New drive shafts are going to be made later on with double cardinan joints so i wont bother with the drive shafts.

LOL flywheel still has its machining marks so you can almost count the amount of revolutions its done, clutch is new, but you rekon i might go HD? Might be money i dont need to spend..

Pfft noises... just turn sound system up lol!

So whats the plan? Get it up and running then do the lift,or do everything at once which is not good

Z()LTAN · 04-30-07, 06:27 AM

all at once baby!

striped down to the chasis so i can get to the hangers easy and make bash plates then paint chasis after fitting everything, drive train back in with new engine, then body back with engine bay painted fun fun, rest can be done when a runner

Z()LTAN · 05-01-07, 06:11 AM

Update:

As i said, the drive train is out, i also took the cab home to strip and clean totally. (long process). Im fixing or replacing all the interior dash, roof lining,door trims. Then im getting them all painted mat black with that special fabric paint.

Then it all goes back in, engine bay painted, then outside painted later.

See the crane ute, another ute to add to the collection lol, not mine though

Is the clutch from the 105 series gearbox the same as the H55f gearbox?

Your lucky your boss doesnt mind you doing all that work on his premises.
Of course your doing it all in you own time

Where have those 75 spent their work life,goldfields? Nice clean chassis

Z()LTAN · 05-01-07, 09:35 AM

as for the clutches... no idea... never thought of that.... one way to find out i spose

Z()LTAN · 05-03-07, 07:13 AM

Did they come from OL?

Z()LTAN · 05-21-07, 04:06 AM

rims are 15x10's and are op lock racing rims with oversize bead huggers, so dont try to put a tyre on them without a machine.... impossible

cost me like $110 each i think

I envy you guys who have the patience and know how to take on a project like this. Sure looks and sounds as though you have some work in font of you.

Great photos and good luck with the rebuild. Its sure going to be an awesome truck once complete.

Whats the biggest thrill?? building it?? or using it once you have built it?? Whats in line for it once complete.

Thanks dude,

Building it is hard work and unforgiving but a great experience. I wouldn't pass it up for the world.

When its done i can try it out and see what my hard work has achieved - that being the greatest part...

Once finished i
