truck update thread

[Ididriver]

i guess ill use this thread to post anything new i do to the truck just to keep it all in one place.
so ive finally finished up the lift/level onmy truck. still have a few tweaks to do tho.
while i had the truck tore apart for the lift i decided to instal a few other parts sense it was tore apart anyways.
upper and lower ball joints.
new radius arm bushings
new axle pivot bushings
new sway bar bushings. all bushings were done in polyurethane.
new tie rods drag links sway bar ends.
probally a few things im forgetting too.
wheel bearings looked BRAND new suprisingly. probally need brake pads by the end of the year tho.
then new springs went in with the adjustable camber bushings.
just a crappy cell phone pic. ill use the real camera tommorw after a wash and wax
ill post more pics later

So i take it you got the camber issue figured out so now the tires sit the way they should rather than \ /?

It looks really good man. Good work!

 

[Ididriver]

Thanks 88ford. I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

Tommorw I'm going to touch up the rhino lining in the bed and rhino line the tool box.

Looking mighty sharp, ididriver. Many bricknoses were 2-tone; I really like the subtle lower-only treatment.

 

[Ididriver]

Thanks I appreciate that.
Got a lot done today. I'll update tommorw.

My good buddy and I also had a productive day, (mostly him) as this pic attests. Don't try this at home, kids.

Head gasket time, so out comes the whole mill. We're crazy, but not crazy enough to try head gaskets in-frame on an E!

Ok...so maybe you got alil more done than me

Oh yeah...head gaskets are bad enough in a pickup. Espically when u don't have a cherry picker for the first head.

 

[idi_econoline]

Well, didn't get the whole thing done. Got the heads off today. Leaks weren't bad, just some oil.
