i think those springs have been altered or are extremely tired, and i havent seen tired springs on the average sweptline - in my experience tired saggy springs are more of a chevy thing. my 69 d200 fronts arch noticeably while yours are beyond flat into negative arch. http://inlinethumb60.webshots.c...

i had a devil of a time getting mine. i knwo that mine are different from each other, one has two patterns of lugs (8 and 5) and the other doesnt; one came from SE USA and the other from somewhere in canada. i paid $200 for a pair of new ones.

i had trouble with the axle cones - they were mighty stuck. a flat chisel and a small hammer got them to budge - it was slow but steady. also, my rear studs were not swedged into the hub, but oh boy were the front ones. the rears came right out but the fronts put up the biggest fight in the universe.

http://sweptline.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=25766 holy hell, finally! i cant believe this isnt getting more attention really, frankly i'd like to know a lot more about it, like about turning the hubs and what year calipers/rotors work. if i had power disc brakes (and power steering somehow, so...

i saw that slick, and i think it might be workable with the shocks (maybe). the steering knuckle looks problematic as well. i even went to the air ride site but i couldnt find the specific setup you used. do you remember any more about it? i've had the truck since 1996 and it was my daily driver unt...

from what i can tel the bags and hardware should fit up there ok (?) although i think on the 2wd they shocks may or may not need moved. i need to take another look but i dont think there is much other interference except or maybe the fender shield and some small accessories. edit - i just went and l...

i thought i saw this somewhere on this site but i cant find it. not looking to lay frame or do anything exciting but would like airbags on the front and rear stock axles. my original leafs are getting a little long in the tooth and are uneven at this point. i have resisted pulling leafs out and drop...

i'm interested in this one. the box does look like it sits a little close to the pump, and the shock absorber may present issue as well but it is an interesting idea.

it looks more like my avatar now, and the chevy air filter is long gone. i got a dual snorkel off an oldy, dont know what though. its big and black, and dodge.

does this help? not a 63

i see. your rad fits in a lot different than my two row. you dont have much room at all in there.

nice looking truck. be worth it to bend the front bumper straight on that one.

whats going on in the reverse light area? something looks odd there, like the lites have been moved, replaced with something else, and stickers added? hard for me to tell.

how are the front cab mounts and cowl? i upload to webshots and then post pics here from that. example (i added asterisks to break the code): [U*RL=http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2366332450026985969sKWeEx][I*MG]http://inlinethumb39.webshots.com/46630/2366332450026985969S425x425Q85.jpg[/I*MG][/U*RL]...

i have a clutch fan and didnt have to move the radiator(?) i used a clutch fan from a late new yorker, bolted right on in place of the solid 4 blade fan. plenty of clearance, much more radical cooling at low speeds. i wonder why you have clearance problems? i used a little rtv on the water passages ...

i never could get my iron 4bbl manifold to work right on my LA, i think the issue was vacuum leaks between the head/manifold - no gasket seemed to work well and i tried them all (my theory is not proven, i really dont know why it never worked well). it did get perfectly clean in the hot tank, did yo...

ah, i see, it is removed. still never seen a bezel like that though, and my dash doesnt have a big hole there either. gotta have heat up here, otherwise the windshield doesnt work

i put 90W gear oil in mine.
