SILVER Star
This thread is of Sherman, the 1972 Family Tank. We bought Sherman (and named him) about 5 years ago. Prior to our purchase, a fire burned up the F engine and it was replaced with a 1983 2F with a Weber and an unkown year (early) 4 speed transmission with a really low first gear.
I have done the following so far:
Added Corbeau front bucket seats
Built custom center console
Rebuilt the head
Rebuilt the springs (added a leaf into the packs)
Added MAF disc brakes in front
Added Classic Cruisers power steering
Added Classic Auto Air heater & A/C unit
Rebuilt a donor 1978 4 speed transmission w/ t case
Added a Be Cool radiator
Added an SPAL fan with electronic control
Built a new dash with VDO gauges and new stereo
Rebuilt front hubs
Added custom rear driveshaft (4sp with 2f was 1 1/2" too long for stock driveshaft)
Added Grant steering wheel
Added eDead rubber/foil insulation and automotive carpet insulation
Built a bar to hold rear seat harnesses
Added Mile Marker winch
Added BFG A/T 33x9.50 tires
Many pictures to follow...this one is how Sherman looks now.
