From what i remember, the rear bumper will fit in a weed eater box from lowes. Go see if they have any.

There might be some spare weed eater boxes around UC...

 

[the gimpey one]

i got the ps bled today and the ubolts off one side of the rear for the add a leafs. Got to find a wrench big enough for the leaf bots though.

 

[the gimpey one]

where can i source 9 or 10" ubolts from. I got 8" now.

 

[dohcdelsol93]

be careful removing leafs if you have the jack stands holding up the axles.

I like to hold the vehicle up with the frame.

This takes all weight off of the leafs.

Then remove the shackle and rest axle down on blocks, tire, solid surface

remove front hanger.

then remove U bolts.

Pull spring pack out.

compress springs with C clamps.

Grind off center nut.

spread out leaf pack retainer straps.

Add leaf to pack where she fits in legenth order

Put in longer center bolt.

recompress and re bend straps.

Stock U bolts will fit fine with one extra leaf...wanna know how i know?

looks like advanced has them. Yeah i have stands under the fram and under axle lifting it off the leafs. I got to go get me an oversized adjustable wrench for that big a@# bolt holding the leafs up though.

 

[the gimpey one]

I though you said your truck mechanically was as good as it was going to get. That's scary stuff for sure.

i am out to wheel it not restore it!! As long as it runs, and i can trust it (working on that) i am happy.

 

[the gimpey one]

The last two responses get at least 1/2 a vote for the mafia.

Those good ole days of JP driving with no brakes, in flip flops, and in the snow with no top.

Rule 402.5b in the Clemson Mafia handbook. Which is printed on the back of a case of PBR at Chucks house.


402.5b
JP may invite potential mafia members if they

1. Fail to wear shoes while wheeling.
2. Do not own shoes.
3. Are capable of changing a birf with only their toes.
4. Have had tire and wheel from vehicle from which they are driving pass said vehicle.
5. Perform all repairs to make cruiser ready (more like almost running) for wheeling the night before trip....late at night.
6. Require more hand cleaner for feet than for hands after wrenching.

Hmmmm
