The Old Girl is coming along..

Looks good...but your rear shackle angle is seriously out of wack. Flipped it should be pointed down and toward the back a bit.

I know I couldnt really get em to budge much. Think I have to take em off and try grease em better and see if it'll go on better...postmount springs are sorta hard to install (least I though so)

I think iirc thats the only way the springs fit, although they measured really close to the stock ones. I dunno..

It is good to knock the dust bunnys and spiders off the Jeep projects when Spring comes around!

yeah I think those stake pockets are the same. $250 bux for four..ouch. Think some square tube will work better and last a bit longer too with real world use.

Yeah...either way I'm gonna take notes on how you handle yours, as my rear two are a bit chewed up.

The stake pockets are the same as the Willys. Nice progress you're making.

here's the rubber body mount pads new 2 bux each not bad really.

Just grab a mud flap off an old trailer....they are nice and thick. Best of all is the price, I found mine on the side of Route 287.

[Gambler68]

Yeah I cut a few out of an old MT tire.

I just took a 6' prybar and flipped the shackles up, sits a bit lower but at least it's correct now Maybe my shocks will fit now..

I do wish I could find one of those beds. It's going to be a nice truck when you get it there...

[NVJEEPER]

Looks GREAT!!! Them Willys fenders way off the tire is ....cool!!!

[J.J.]

Lookin' good.

Sadly not the progress I intended, but its creeping along. Just got this door done enough to mount, inside of it is painted black so that accentuates the shadows in door line..plus it seems maybe later doors had skinnier posts at the windshield line..quite a gap but you can see the rest of is lined up really good. Good enough for me! Tint is in good shape, these are off a 78 Cherokee. Door panels on the inside will be that desert camo that was floating around here last year

Those dink tires annoy me. I decided to go ahead and 3/4 ton it with the matching HD44 and D60 I have here in 4.10 gearing. saving up for cj perches and rear D60 disk brake kit (if I can find one for a dodge D60..). Although, if anyone reading has the guts to D60 drums, I'd do that. Mine came completely empty :/

Nice to see you post some more progress on this truck. I'm in progress of a thriftside myself. Trying to get motivated to do things. Your thread helps...haha good job so far!!

[Gambler68]

Thanks Zack! Just got the drivers door done and should hang it tomorrow. Next is windshield and the cab is buttoned up.

Really at this point I am stalled with the front and rear axles, need to get mounts and weld em up. Hopefully by fall I can have it movable under its own power, and road ready by spring.

[wickedwagon767]

Lookin' good there Gambler

Have you not tried to find D60 drums and hardware either on ebay or on www.ramchargercentral.com where someone has gone to discs?
