First thing, re-seal steering box
Rebuilt the rear brakes. Had to take backing plates off the replace the wheel cylinder
Onto the drop spindles!! Drop the nose 4 inches!
Sweet! Any overall pics?
I’ll get more pics when it’s out of the garage! Still have oil lines And Gearvender overdrive to install before she’ll be out of there! I have a Phantom grill and a new rear bumper to put on to! Thanks for the interest! I do have a post in the other rides section With pics of the truck when I bought it.

Nasty, leaking oil cooler lines out, new lines in. Despite what all the catalogs say, upper/lower-left/right hoses are the same.
Put my Phantom grill in and LED turn/marker lights.
Putting the Gearvender Overdrive in
Some crafty individual should repopthose oil cooler lines. Seems like once a week people on fb are griping about the leaks.
Been a while since anything has happened.
Had issues with the Gearvender driveshaft yoke, waited almost 2 weeks for a replacement. One that came with it wouldn’t go in all the way. Replacement slipped right in!

New driveshaft is in!
Back on the ground. Still a little wiring to do.
Badly needs a front end alignment!

Eastbound and Down
Parker hose took care of mine...
Nothing.... yet! Looking at options. 2-3” is all I want in the rear. But since I do haul with it, I am concerned about dropping to far, or not having enough payload.
A couple suggestions I have received is
Take a couple leafs out of the stack, that’ll give me 2”, and add air assist bags for when I’m hauling. That will give me a softer ride empty, but still have payload capacity.
Just pulled it out of the garage! First it’s seen daylight since I brought it home over a month ago!
Dropping it at a buddies shop for a badly needed alignment!

And then the ride goes to crap!
1/2 way to the shop, hit a pot hole, and the truck shut off!
Power, spark, but no fuel!
Ended up getting the truck towed!

After the breakdown. Had it towed to a friends shop. He got it running, did front end Alignment, and converted the A/C to R134. Got it home and had some wiring to repair!
