Man, you do good work. Really looking forward to seeing more of this build, hopefully it'll answer a lot of my questions without making me realize I need to go back and redo too too much!

'63 J200 Resto-mod in progress
(http://www.ifsja.org/forums/vb/showthread.php?t=178651)
If all goes well, we can toast to accidental successes.
I'm convinced I'm just too dumb to know that I can't restore this old truck... -

I need some help identifying the steering box. It was replaced but don't know if it was replaced with what came with the truck originally. Doubt it because of the butchered mount that I cut off.

Are those balls two different diameters and supposed to be inserted alternately, big-little-big-little...?Sic friatur crustulum

Apparently some do and some dont. If the balls are two different colors - bright and dark. Then yes. If all same hue then no1970 J2000(2500) Currently undergoing frame off resto

Is that the rear shock brackets you're commenting on? What does the bracket look like? Just curious....Originally posted by Frank ZiebertMoving forward

Yes it's the rear. I'll post up a shot of the brackets later. The axle that has been put in there was from another vehicle and the bracket on it did not align well with the one riveted to the frame. Easy to move it than the one one the axle.1970 J2000(2500) Currently undergoing frame off resto

Definitely subscribed. How did I miss this one.
Great build and progress. I have my eye on a truck with same color scheme down the road. I appreciate the postings on the power steering box. I had never attempted that and now feel like it is doable.
You have a lot of the same challenges that I had to face on the wagoneer I am doing right now.
I think that you doing this in your fathers memory is really great. I am really sorry for his loss. Nothing prepares you for that. My mom died in 2010 from an asthma attack and tomorrow is her anniversary. Ugh. So your truck has special meaning. How cool to bring it back and be able to use it later.
I'll be following and appreciating your work. Looking just great.
