Thanks for all the info, I appreciate it. I keep hearing about huck brakes, what were those? :)thanks mike
I thought about that but I’ve only found one for sale in my area on offerup & it’s complete but the guy wants $900. So far I’ve got about $400...
Is it true that 49-54 Chevy car front hubs & drums work on the AD truck spindles for converting to 5 lug? I found a pair of those hubs on eBay for...
Nah someone just decided to do some “custom” suspension work to it. I was told one of the prior owners had started to get it ready for airbags.
Yeah:cool:first thing I’d like to do because it’s easily accessible is the rear suspension. Sometime after that the engine/trans.
It’s officially mine. I was able to get it vin verified & Finnish the registration/titling process through the licensed verifier at an insurance...
Maybe, I think a lot of us like a little bit of everything. Original, custom, lowrider, hot rod etc..at least I know I do.
nice, did you do a thread about it on here?
Thanks I think it is. I was stabbing around at it with a screwdriver & no rot yet that I found.
I got around to pulling the seat frames & cleaning/hosing/sanitizing the heck out of the cab interior. Major rats nest in the glove box & under...

That’s a good idea. I’m trying that before work tomorrow:)
Looks like I’ll be at the mercy of the chp. I popped the glove box open. All I found was an old rats nest, looked under the seat but didn’t see...
Here’s the response I received from chp this morning through email regarding the vin verification. Being that they’re asking for title history & I...
Ah, now i see why it’s shown with the different rear suspension parts, I think I read that this assembly manual is originally for the 54 model...
There’s no u bolts. He brought leafs that probably are for the ford rear end cause they don’t fit the factory hangers.

Here’s a photo of the assembly manual showing the “rounded” U bolts instead of the squared. [ATTACH]
I reached out to chp & a dmv registration service place to see if either can come out and do a vin verification. The guy I bought the truck from...
Thanks, I’ll check that out soon.
