the never ending story, just ended

[MancheKid86]

my drill decided to take a charge

so i got it all mounted up,

going to do the wiring tomorrow, as well as address my oil leak,

and i think my my rear diff has a leak?

more pics tomorrow!

[MancheKid86]

all wired up and after about 15 mins of playing with the license plate i have made my decision :chillin: ,

tested it and it works :D , don't know if i can pull anything yet, i need an excuse to use it :shake:

ran the ground wire to my tailgate, its out of site for the most part, and if needed i can move it else where when the tail gate is removed,

here's so more pics to keep you tied over, I'm going to shambhala soon so I'm tied up for money at this moment, but when i get back i should have some more to invest into the truck.

 

 

next up fixing my oil leak once and forall

thanks :D and any time :cheers:

 

 

yesterday i removed my lifter cover ,

then i got a bit distracted,

so today i made tripple sure i won't have an oil leak,

put make a gasket then gasket then make a gasket on,

letting it cure and will start her up tomorrow.

 

now my next project,

clean all of the contacts up to see if it'll fix my gas gauge

 

lug nuts replaced :D

 

more bling :D

 

was going to do some painting and clean everything inside but, I'm short on cash atm,

so i just did what i could with what i got for now :D

but as always more too come,

hehe i got a big dually axle that will bolt right into the rear

just need a day to go get it

[MancheKid86]

well i sanded my ground for more connectivity,

see if that will help, checked the wrap all the way to the adapter,

and then checked the plugs in the adapter, everything was good,

was going to pull a sensor or something off, but gas started coming out, i forgot that i had a full tank :shake:

can't check it till after work tho, my seal is still curing on my valve cover

 

then i got bored of that and pulled out the angle grinder,

my plan is to get autocad and work on a new cross member for the frame rail, get that made,

get a spot weld driller and take the old one off, and put the new one on :D

restore it to its original state :brows:

 

so earlier on i pulled up my floor boards to find this

 

so i did this :)

started chopping

 

look at all that rust!

 

this picture is relevant because it is proof that i put my sweat and blood into her

 

all cleaned up :yes:

 

and mat back in its place for now

[wannabeMJ]

and mat back in its place for now

 

easyest way to fix a rusty floor

 

 

put a floor mat on top of it mouhahahahahahahaha

 

seriously keep going your doing a good job

[MancheKid86]

so took it out today,

and she ran great :) no leaks from my transmission, or oil!!

i guess i got my power steering a bit hot because it leaked a bit, other than that it seems to be fine.

i love how smooth the steering wheel is, and i got a suede cover so its like a cloud :yes:

i have to replace the pinion seal, :fs1:

but hey its expected, 24 year old seals will go at somepoint,

this is going to be fun i can tell you that XD

 

tomorrow i will take er out and do a bit of offroading and take a stance shot :D

[ComancheKrazy]

Can't wait to see more, it's turning out great. I'm especially interested in the floor work.

[MancheKid86]

downloading the program,

i will design it once i install it,

I'm debating if I'm going to get it made from a single piece,

or, go down to my buddy's and get it welded up, with some "cardboard" (paper) cutouts,

but either or i will get them made atleast 2 weeks away or longer,

5 more days I'm going to shambhala!! :yes:

i noticed my power steering pump has a leak,

o_O so i need a new hose, its the one with the sensor on it,

any one got the oem replacement number?

[MancheKid86]

new tach

 

shifter

 

and my new door knobs :headpop: :wall: so much for Chrysler replacements, didn't even fit

 

as allways more to come,

installing autocad as i type,

will start working on designing the cross-member tomorrow :D

 

hope the pics will tide you over (yea right :shake: )

[ComancheKrazy]

Heck yeah, good scoring those. Congrats on the grad deal...even though that was like 2-3 months ago.

[MancheKid86]

went wheeling yesterday,

had a passenger who likes taking pictures XD

 

 

no pics of the truck (technically i got a pic of the inside :P )

[MancheKid86]

so i installed the shifter knob today,

since i sheared the knob right off i needed one i didnt have to screw on,

 

3 bolts and it was on,

 

screwed the cover back on,

 

final product.

 

tomorrow i will get the exhaust mounted and installed at a buddies shop 2 towns over

[MancheKid86]

no pics of install, forgot camera, but i took some pics that will do till its light out tomorrow,

got the exhaust installed :D

 

 

 

 

 

more pics and a vid tomorrow

[MancheKid86]

got my winch re-wired

 

 

:fs1: damn guy drilled a hole thru my good floor board :wall:

 

all strapped down

 

no more chafe

 

look what i found?? what would the use of this be? its not on the other side either

 

and at the back

 

exhaust

 

10 feet of straight pipe

 

where the cherry bomb use to be

 

no more rattle

 

and here she sounds, (lol forgot to turn on the truck while recording, voice is muffled at the end)

[MancheKid86]

got some pics of that axle i got,

a bit of a teaser :brows:

 

 

stock SOA mounts :yes:

 

and it fits perfectly for width :D :shake:

 

ill get it some time :banana:

[freakjeep93]

I'm guessing its out of a chev as the shocks are angled like the chev trucks were. its at least a 3/4 ton as its dually.

[1999MJ]

what are you going to do with that large axle. That's an eaton HO72 or 52?

[MancheKid86]

I'm thinking about running it :P

or selling it :brows:

 

got some upgrades done,

theese speakers blow my other ones out of this world, don't even need to use my boom box any more,

they are perfect for my stereo too, max 200W per speaker and my deck is max 200W as well :D

so it comes out clean and clear, no more power surge problems, must have been the old speakers :D

and no need for an amp or capacitor yet.

 

 

and holy i previewed this post like 3 times, i thought i posted it,all thru the day i come sit down and I'm like wheres my post? LOL

[MancheKid86]

so my neighbor is moving,

and she gave me a 1977 cordoba without the papers,

we also got a Cadillac from her as well but that has papers,

 

v-8 comanche? i think so :D

 

i think with that engine, i will be able to run my dually rear axle?

[MancheKid86]

think its about time for an update :D

installed an int light,

will have pic of it in daylight tomorrow

:chillin:

 

got some fluids for her

 

part of my leaking powersteering

 

donor vehicle :D

 

and putting her to work, first load uppon many too come, didnt even make a dent in the pile,

and there is 3 of them

[Bounty Hunter]

Great job on the detailed pics.

 

I would move the ground cable for the winch, the tailgate does not have a good contact with the chassis. Attach the ground to the chassis after cleaning the attachment point.

[MancheKid86]

[MancheKid86]
