75 father son project

make the plan, and make it happen

Thank you everyone for your feedback.

I defiantly will not be cutting the fenders. Honestly hadn't thought about keeping the paint as is. I get to drooling over all the builds I see and my imagination gets the better of me. It makes a lot of sense as I think about it too. I could redirect the painting funds into more drive train upgrades.

Our plan was refurb original engine and transmission and reinstall.

Install disk brakes, replace brake lines, all seals, fuel lines, wiring, power steering, new suspension, floor mats and possibly add AC.

Not sure about the differentials and axels yet, they'll be inspected shortly.

We were hoping to get 33" tires under it and I have been told that a 1" body lift and 1.5"-2" suspension lift is what most do.

Project Update. Thought I would share some pictures of our progress. Still lots to do, but were getting there.

I've been shopping wheels and tires, and would appreciate some input.

Uncut 2.5" suspension and 1" body lift. Will a 31" tire fit?

I'm pretty sure 31's will fit. You need to make sure the back spacing on the rears are correct. Front should be no problem.

Awesome project. Keep posting those pictures.

Hit a milestone with our build last weekend, got the underside of the body armor coated and the body is back on the frame!
