Caught a piece of steel in the eye. Rusted before they got it out. Then took a drill to the rust ring. WEAR YOUR SAFETY GLASSES. Learned my lesson.

...so, that front suspension is installed correctly, those first pics sure makes it look backwards, course I've never seen too many Pacer fronts.

 

Back to the build.


In the mean time I scored a new bed and rear fenders for 300 bucks! The original ones had more dimples than a fat girls ass.

Had to ditch the WWW due to clearance issues. Saving for more right now.

It's good to go, just a bit of an odd set up. It was also my first experience with disc brakes held on by "keys".

I do like the pacer, it was super easy to bag in the front. Just built my brackets right off of the cup around the spring.

 

Lookin' good! Hows the ride?

What a score on that bed and fenders eh?

If you happen to see a driver's fender with the spare tire provision let me know, K? I had to let mine go when I sold my '51 L110.

 

I will keep my eyes peeled here in Tacoma. Im on the look out for a dash and front bumper, if you know of any.

Rides great on air! I'm ready to have the shocks 100% done.

What management are you running?

 

Forgot the best part..... that bed was on a 1966 Ford F-100 when i got it

HELD ON BY 2X BOLTS.

 

I pieced it all together. 3/8" SMC electric valves with an AVS switchbox, viair gauges. If you go with valves go with 1/4". 3/8" is way overkill and needed to be metered to keep from hopping.

I still have the dash out of my '54 I wont be using. It was hacked at some point for a head unit but could probably be welded up pretty easy.

I'll keep eyes out for a bumper too.

 

I am running 3/8 everything and i agree its a little to quick for my taste. I ran an AirLift Autopilot v2, its cheap insurance if the girlfriend has to drive it. Might be interested in the Dash, i just want a spare to work on.

Portland Swap this weekend?

 

Yep, I'll be there.
