Little Red 85 Build

My 14B is over at Rays shop waiting for me to bring the parts over. No rear steer here. Would be cool though

I figured out why the passenger side hub didn't want to turn.





Time to find a spindle and order some bearings

I've been doing some of the busy work as of late waiting on parts.

Burned off the old sliders and cleaned up the frame in preparation for some new ones.





Started on a little body work since I'm going to have some tube there to protect it in the future.





Got my knuckles and hubs blasted and painted the knuckles



I need to get the hubs washed out since the are full of media and reassembled. My replacement spindle came in and looks acceptable .

The D60 is fully stripped down and waiting on parts. I dropped the gears/locker off with Ray and Joe to get put together.

Who makes those knuckles?

 

[Boomtacoma01]

They are the stock D60 knuckles

Are you going to do some aftermarket ones? They are cheap! LOL

No shit I really need some but can't justify the cost

 

[Boomtacoma01]

Maybe down the road. Reid racing knuckles are nice but pricey. Just trying to get the axle together first. Shit adds up quick.

Thanks man.. I like the brackets they have for links as well. Hmm.

 

[Boomtacoma01]

They have some cool stuff. Probably going with a set of their high steer arms for my D60.

Teardown has started. Kingpin rebuild parts are in. Body work on the xtra cab portion is just about complete.

Damn!!! That looks good!!

Nice thing about those D60's is they are light! LOL Make a rolling stand so you can position it easy. I helped by BIL install his and what a royal PITA. I think gravity actually pulls harder underneath those things.

 

[Boomtacoma01]

I agree with you on the gravity part. That fucker is heavy. Even the ifs rear is heavy. Or I'm getting weaker. Who knows.

Started re doing my trans tunnel today. Got most of it knocked out. Just need to finish up a little more sheet metal and a couple of other things. It not finished but already much better that the way it previously was.

that pond looks like it's in the way of you being able to spread out

 

[yotarob]

Why the hell is there a pond in the middle of you driveway?

I'll shot you a text in the morning, I got side tracked with getting out of town for a mini family trip with my folks and forgot all about sending my guy to get that stuff. Sorry dude.

 

[Boomtacoma01]

That pond is a major pain in my ass. I may have to crawl it after I get the new axles in. Just let me know on the parts run. I may be able to make the 25th if that is still on. I'm leaving town on Friday until next Tuesday for a wedding and a trip to Niagra Falls.

Damn! I am heading to Kemah this Friday - Sunday for a wedding and thought I could break free and get the parts myself. Oh well, I'll send the truck.

Shit,
