Is this going to be a problem?

Got to cutting the rockers and quarters today...
Before and after...

 

[woytovich]

Anybody want some rust free rockers?

 

[woytovich]

Suspension is in, 2" body lift is in, brake lines hooked back up (replaced lines to calipers with longer/flexible, added Speed Bleeders), steering rods hooked back up. Sitting on rubber for the first time in weeks!
Until it settles some it is TALL!

(if you are REALLY bored)

Videos of the carcass and a "rust tour" to see why it had to go... holes around the body mount points and the seat belt bolts were the worst of it...

Resurfaced flywheel, new clutch (disk and plate), pilot bearing and throwout bearing is in...

Quick update:

truck is (finally) running with:
Jim C rebuilt carb
GM alternator
desmog with new vac hose all around
replaced most coolant hoses

Bled the brakes with the new speed bleeders (fresh fluid pumped through)

Still have a to-do list but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel - at least to get it on the road.

Drove it up and down the street today for the first time since July!

1st gear + low range + ToyBox is truly stupid slow!

Thanks...

Those are my street tires - although I was THINKING of switching up to 35-36" from the current 33s...
Q78 swampers for the woods...

Mark,

Have a guy in the club that has a set of Rockers on beadlocks. 37's that measure a true 35.5. Would fit perfect under your rig.
