Installed new extended brake lines and 76 F250 Mstr cyl to get the Disk fronts to work. Cleaned and undercoated underside and frame. installed new gas lines and filters. Last Friday night snatched out the front-end and installed new C-bushing, radius arm bushings. New shocks. Ordered extended track bar should be here in a day or two. Also found 302 power plant to stab soon. It'll need timing chain & gears, oil pump and pick-up tube and new pan. Removed cleana nd re-wrapped the wiring fornt to back. Dropped tamka and install new float and pick-up. Oh yeah cleaned , chacked and repacked hubs.

Sorry didnt have a Rachet-cam, But will take some shots to show before and after stuff. Got the adjustable Trac-bar installed this evening so I finally got to test drive. Oh Yeah happy with the suspension now it has some ballz. And a better stance.
I'll put some out soon. DWB

Ok today installed front extended brake line and started on Roller motor, I will try to add some pic's.
And a pictue of my old 67 and 78

Okay parts ordered for engine, new Timing chain and gears and oil pump..Tired of watching the oil pressure drop in tired engine, newly purchased 302 soon to be installed. Got a good deal on 302 it's very clean and has roller rockers bought from guy who has a collection of toys. Said motor was great and everything looks that way. It as 68 model block with 289 heads and Mallory electronics in distributor, came complete but figured a few new items cant hurt.
