    Quad Shocks?

    I didn't take what you said too seriously! I really do want to learn to do this stuff!! I HATE working with wood! My walls aren't squared, so even if my trim cuts are perfect, it doesn't fit together. Metal, you can do anything you want with metal. In the designs that i did for a large...

    Quad Shocks?

    I'd love to learn how to fab parts! But i don't know if i have all of the tools to do it... I recently bought my first welder (lincoln tombstone arc welder) and a friend is suppose to give me his late brothers 110 mig welder, to restore my wife's wrangler. I have a small drill press, and a lot...

    Quad Shocks?

    I want to keep the truck clean cut looking, but also take it to the sand dunes. I like these custom sites, they'll definitely help with this! First, gotta get it driveable again.... Which means new doors and corner panels... $370 per door...

    Is it bad to scrap parts versus selling?

    I'm definitely buying the '82 truck for $500. i'll scrap the old front clip and see how much work the box needs. I know i can sell that, and probably make my money back. Then buy a southern one down the road. I was going to pass on it, but my dad said to go for it, and will help me take the clip...

    Quad Shocks?

    Do you guys know where i can buy these Quad Shock mounts? Maybe i'm missing it, but i can't find them... Or should i try taking them off my old frame ('86 k10 4.3L shortbox), refurbish them and put on my donor frame ('82 k10 6.2L shortbox)?

    Is it bad to scrap parts versus selling?

    Right, i guess it'll depend on if we have the room. We already have my wife's '95 wrangler in my garage(city lot), that i'm slowly working on. Lots of house projects still, we had to gut the house when we bought it last September due to mold. The '86 truck is at my grandma's (lives in the...

    Is it bad to scrap parts versus selling?

    The guy has been super friendly to me! He asked me what i think is fair, but i'm super dutch, so my price point might still be below his price point... HAHA He just messaged me this morning and asked if $500 is fair, and he will deliver it. It has the cab, 6.2l engine (doesn't think it works he...

    Is it bad to scrap parts versus selling?

    Really? I can find long boxes all over, but i'm having trouble finding a short box (bed and 4x4 frame), at a reasonable price. Maybe i haven't looked enough? I'm also nervous of passing up on this, as i feel like my dad's old one is sitting and getting worse every month that goes by... I just...

    Is it bad to scrap parts versus selling?

    A friend of mine was parting out his '82 k10 6.2L shortbox. I only want the frame and box, nothing else! He got tired of dealing with people, so he stopped selling parts off it. It still has the cab, box, engine, axles, etc. My '86 k10 4.3L has better gearing, good cab (needs new corners) and...

    Using old wiring harness?

    I'm swapping frames on my '86 K10 4.3L with one from an '82 K10 6.2L Diesel. Anything that i should look out for, that you have learned the hard way? I feel like i should buy a new wiring harness, but is it bad to use the old one? How difficult would it be to rewire it later on, versus when i...
