What's the difference between 5, 10, 15, 20 and 50 supporting member, memberships?

 

[blueice]

[El Padrote]

The difference is how much money you support the site with.

Steps are coming off just as soon as I can get this suspension finished. Go check out "rear end restoration" I just got Hotchkis 4" drop leafs. Can I see pics of your rig finished? I never saw it dropped a little more and steps shaved! I bet it looks badass! :worship:

I just wrote like a 3 page summary of my truck going back and fourth between 2 browsers and just x'd out of it. :bawl: Let's try this again.

Here's the truck the day I got it.

 

[bcossette]

New bed, rust repaired around rocker sills and cab corners, and all ready for paint sporting 3-4 different colors :anitoof:

Here I primed just the cab, because I thought I was going to paint the cab to match the bed at one point.

 

[bcossette]

Here she is in all primer sealer!

Now that the body is SEMI done, I just wanted to clean up the Rear suspension and get her dropped 4/6, so here's a summary of that:


Here's the primer after about 4 months, it started to fade. ow:

 

[bcossette]

Bed is off

Pulled off ******* style with dad's 45 HP Kubota Tractor. :rocking:

Here's everything still intact:

 

[bcossette]

Here's everything cept for axle and suspension gutted from suspension.

Here's the frame getting needlescaled, and all the holes getting welded up for cosmetic purposes:

I'm going to finish needlescaling it and then Douche it with some POR 15, and I have a new axle from the junkyard in my shop that im needlescaling and getting ready for POR 15.

I'm going with an all Hotchkis Performance 4/6 drop with 2" drop coils, 4" drop leaf springs, and belltech spindles and shackles to get the stand down to 4/6. Later I'll probably get Hellwig sway bars.

Later I'll get you guys some pics of the Rear end and some of my hotchkis stuff!

 

[bcossette]

Here you can see my Hotchkis Leaf Springs and Coils, along with a new GM gas tank and sendin unit, and new Ecsta STX rear tires!

Here are a bunch of performance suspension bushings for the front! :rocking:

you said douche.

you said douche.

Alright here's the update on the rear end. :rocking:

Here it is the day I bought it, 4-20-04

Here are some pics I just took after 5+ hours of needlescaling!

 

[bcossette]

Here's this newfangled Needlescaler im talking about:

It's basically a bunch of Hardened steel wires instead of a wire brush they're about 10 times the size of the wires on a wirebrush.

Does a good job, but my brand new crafstman 5hp 25 gallon air compressor keeps up nicely with it!

1 more picture of the rear end:

Don't mind the ugle brake drums on there, i'll be doing a disk brake conversion before it's back on the road. :driver:
