Good call Matt. But the factory stuff is here and I hate to see it go to waste

So broke down the front axle and the diff looks great. Will clean up the levers and actuator. Want to powder coat but afraid time is not on my side as I need to get this truck back together before the summit in august. Doing add a leafs upgrading from a medium to heavy set up. Did not have all the extra weight when I originally built this truck.

Rear diff out. Pressure washed the front housing and parts (forgot to get a pic). Moving along slowly.

Axles painted and slowly coming together.

What kind of paint did you use?

Hey Tucker, I sprayed them with a thick chassis paint I picked up from my paint supply house. I think it’s called “Northstar”. Had to reduce it quite a bit on the final coat.

Replaced the steering box. Resealed mine 4-5 years ago but unfortunately it failed this last year. Fortunately I was storing my brothers that was redone by WTO. Will replace this for him. Add a leaf is done on the front (7 leafs). Have an additional one but will see how going from 6 to 7 sits/rides. Front axle in and will get the birds, hubs etc done today. Rear axle this week and hopefully doing some test runs by the close of next weekend. Also received the cables from Cal Push-Pull. Pretty beefy. Made them 12” longer than factory, just have to confirm where I’ll mount them.

Looking great Jimmy.

 

[John McVicker]

Yep, looking great.

Jimmy, on a side note with your new steering box…and I realize you had one on the shelf…but do you have an idea what the turn around time is for a rebuild from WTO? That’s going to be my next project.

Hey John, if I recall my brother drops them off (when he works in SAn Angelo) and they are usually ready the next week. Might be worth a call into them as their workload may fluctuate some. Look forward to seeing you guys in a month.

 

[John McVicker]

Yeah, I will give them a call. Intended to have this done prior to SAS5…but not going to happen. See ya soon!

Ha, giddy up Ben. Stop tweaking that 40 and focus on your 60 ma man .

Front done except for fluid and attaching the dampener. Old rear is out. Clean, build and install new one. Rear springs will get one leaf added.

 

[CenTXFJ60]

No rear axle and on the lift…good time to power wash the underside. 4 years of San Jaun dirt just about gone

New parking brake cable. Another “while you’re in there” jobs. Weak moment a while back and bought a few when I realized they were still available.
