Its getting there..suspen.sion is 95% done just need to get longer shocks and crossover steering..tires...then dump some money into the motor

[AFurg85Chevy]

Update.... New Cam, Crank, Dbl timing chain.. Had these parts given to me, As far as i know my engine had a stock crank and cam. The cam i put into it reads..

Intake: 1.575
Exhaust: 1.575

Stock Cam was.

Intake: 1.540
Exhaust: 1.28

The crank now reads 2.780

These numbers dont mean much to me as i dont know enough about them to compare them to anything, But im told there decent, Better then what i had. Someone before me had painted the Intake valley, Found a huge peice of it flaked off and was floating around on top. Had some silicone and paint chips in my oil pump screen as well. Put a Holley 650 on it, Had a Holley 600, I also got a Holley 750 but it needs a fuel rail but that will be going on as soon as i get the parts

[AFurg85Chevy]

Hopefully have it put back into the truck tomorrow night, And be back on track

Can't wait to here it run now!!

Updates: Opted to go with rockwells instead of 1 tons. Tore the front down and removed the brakes. New boots. Grease. Pulled the chunk and welded the carrier. if I didn't have the overhead gantry system pulling the chunk off would not be easy to do as everything on these axles is just a bit heavier. Now just need to flip the rear axle pull the carrier out weld that up. And I will be one step closer to putting them under the truck.

Still need to do:
Driveshafts
Wheels/centers
Rear pinion brake
Shock mounts
Hyd steer off old axle and put onto new
U bolts/spring plates

And I'm sure there is more that I'm overlookig

Lookin good!  Whats your plans for tires now with the Rocks?

[AFurg85Chevy]

Im goin to run 44" ground hawgs cut into v treads. Until I can afford something better. But the options are endless now

[Bowtie972]

There are lots of options,  I just picked up some tractors for mine last fall, but im not letting go of my 44's either!

[AFurg85Chevy]

I'd like to run tractors. A buddy of mine had two sets but he seems to trade an sell tires before he even unloads them
