Superwhite's dcsb 38's build

Well I lucked out, the hose is only 30 bux shipped.

Got brake lines ran and bled.
Besides mounted up and tail lights in place
Extended brake reservoir wiring
Bedlined the interior and tidied up wiring
Wheel tubs are all sealed and bedlined.
Front wheels mounted and truck on the ground, ride height looks to be pretty level and the shackle angle in the rear is just about perfect with weight on the rear now.

With any luck I'll have her fired up again by the end of the week.

Want to get it rolled out the garage so I can organize a bit before the dana shows up.



Any recommendations for a driveshaft shop in the greater wnc area?

 

You should only need a 1330 to 1350 ujoint and be good to go on the driveshaft.

 

Any recommendations for a driveshaft shop in

That would be the case if I hadn't stretched the wheelbase but we'll see how things line up when the dana gets here. Unsure if the pinion is longer than the factory axle. If it is, there may be enough play in the slip joint to bolt it up.

I have a dana 60 to toy flange already.

 

L and r transmission is fast and relatively cheap, Olivers driveshaft is good too, just much slower than l and r

 

Thanks you sir!

 

Got the brakes ran up to the rear flex line to axle.


Spraying some rust converter on the sliders

Bed coming back together quickly


Pups enjoying the wood stove


Tank setup for airing up and engaging lockers
new solenoid with an fittings

 

Nooooiiiiice

 

For anybody interested, the regulator port is 1/4 npt. Npt to 3an fitting came from summit. The solenoid is a Brittish pipe thread, fitting was sourced from power tanks.

Ran fuel injection line over the arb tubing to prevent abrasions and kinks.

 

Fuel line fittings just showed up, pretty trick...
5/16 male that connects to factory quick connect and a 3/8 push lock on the other side to hook to the supply and return lines. As soon as the factory vinyl hose I cut gets here I'll be ready to start her.

Still unsure what I'm going to do with the exhaust, was thinking of angling the borla up above the frame rails and exiting out the bedside.

 

I pushed my exhaust up a little when my muffler died. But i don't got a crossover thing

 

Yeah eventually I'm going to have that re routed in preparation for a crawl box and skids.

 

Truck just fired up for the first time in 6 months. Had the fuel lines reversed at first and found a loose wire on my alarm system that needed some solder.

Working on a way to use the factory gauge as it would read opposite with the fuel cells Gm sending unit.

Just minor details from this point, still waiting on ecgs to finish up my axle housing.

 

Holla at me if you need assistance with crawler. It was a little bit of a pain in the dick.

 

For sure, it will be a while I'm close to 7or 8k into the build at this point.

 

Got the dash and passenger airbag swapped out. Interior is almost done at this point, just need to make some mounts for the bottle and build a platform in the back seat for the dogs.

Body is back together now as well. Had to remove the hood latch since it doesn't line up now. Hood pins are on the way. Got 1/4 turn fasteners installed on the bed sides and trimmed the front glass fenders.

Called east coast gear and confirmed my axle should be done in a few weeks. Trying to get this all done before the April 1st meet and our cruise after.

I landed a new job in asheville so once we return from our trip, it's right back to work and likely no time to work on her
