You've had a productive weekend. It didn't take you long to get a long list of goodies needed for the truck. I like the pop out windows.

i am not surprised on both.. the exhaust was going when i owned it.. i was gonna replace it then sold it...

updated from this weekend...


(3-16-2008)

this weekend it sits up on jack stands.

For rear brakes need driver side rear brake line, drums cut and 2 wheel cylinders, everything else is pretty new.

front brakes, need both flex lines, calipers there leaking, rotors clean cut, there really new and pads..

need all front end u-joints on the axles, wheel bearings, gonna pull the diff and flush it..

ok now the best part of the weekend.. drove up to Port Huron to my dads, buddy's barn from work. he is parting out a 1994 ranger, picked up all my cab mounts/bolts/pucks, tons and tons of interior parts i needed even the whole dash for my silver truck because its cracking, and even an A/C condenser because mine has a hole in it on the splash..

Sweet! You can't complain about that find! Sounds like you filled up the back of your truck with goodies.

Ok so if you ever want to rebuild a TTB front end word of advise "Open up your check book!"

ok just spent dang near $500 on parts some stuff is missing from this pile

-Tons and TONS of seals ( i mean dear god there everywhere )
-Bearings galore!!! what the heck i think there is 5 sets on this front end?!?!??!
-Wagner pads
-Calipers
-Flex lines
-ball joints
-more seals
-rear wheel cylinders
-rear brake lines
-star adjusters
-Spicer 5-760x u-joints for axles (btw the most hard freaking u-joints to find(the upgraded one's from stock)

yes it would.. in about a week it will be going back together..

Dad has the axles and spindles at work he is sand blasting them. and machining the axles to except the new upgraded u-joints with full snap rings instead of the C clip style.. less likely to pop a u-joint cap..

then the Knuckles are coming off here in a day or so and going to his work and he is gonna sand blast them and weld up the Pad slots there blown out and warn down and gonna get them new again... good stuff...
