Getting the old suspension off the truck was the hardest part of the job. Took me about 6 hours per side.

Your lug nut wrench fits perfectly in the spring eye. Cut the outside lip off then place the lug nut wrench over the bushing and slam with a sledge. Comes right out.
60% of the time works every time.

Do It! That 55 looks to be in really good shape body wise compared to others I've seen.

This forum's "support" is the devil on your shoulder!

From what I have seen there are only 4 for sale on Craigslist and I knew someone on here would be interested in that one so I saved it. It’s already modified so it might be a good 80 frame swap candidate.

All in the same vane when I tell myself “last drink”, and the “devil” on my shoulder says “don’t listen to him, he’s drunk.”

I wouldn't say I like 55 at the first look. She is ugly. But my FJ40 acts as alcohol on me, she became pretty and cool after each shot.

We added a little bit too and took our grand daughter out tonight to look at Christmas lights.

Threw the bed on it for the first time since this project has begun. It’s shoved in the corner of my small garage, so I can still work on it this winter and the wife get in and out.

WHYD to your Cruiser this week?

Removed some restrictive clothing from multiple POs

 

[jhynesrockmtn]

Small but annoying thing. The top of my console broke at the back. The wire that kept it from flopping all the way back failed. Worked up a replacement with some left over chain and drilled the hinge for some bolts/nuts.
