A RE:Rebuild Thread (Half-Cab LUBR)...Body On 11-11-11

[Broncology]

Here are a couple of pics. ZF and decided the repaint the dana-20 (it was too blue), will also paint the inspection plate silver. Everyone likes pictures, right? ;D


1) Next step is to order a new flywheel and clutch assembly (once I decide on which I want to go with). Any suggestions on a new clutch?

2) Remainder of POR-15 will be here Thursday and I can finish the frame and axles.

3) Need to send out the PS box to West Texas for a rebuild.

5) Need to install BCB new brake line kit. (DONE)

4) Finally, need to put it all back together and I'm essentially done with the Chassis and need to focus on the body.

Your doing a nice job on that, its going to be really nice when you get it done. I liked it before but now.....

[Stutsmo]

Thanks guys! The POR came in today, so this weekend I will finish the frame, Dana 44, and install BCB fuel line kit. Progress

I don't think I am going to touch the body. I'm planning on having someone else do that portion of the build for me. If I did it, everything would end up backwards

Finished the frame and installed BCB deluxe fuel line kit. The fuel line kit was VERY easy to install and looks great!

Well, after scanning through the photos of the thread above....I may go a different route than planned. Thinking about making it a LUBR...capable off-road LUBR (sleeper if you will, as I think Zillacon put it). Someone stop me ;D

Thats what I'm talking about. Its great to shut the Hecklers up when you out wheel them in an Un-Cut, especially Brand X.;D Altho mine will get cut some day soon.

Man I love the look of a nicely painted frame. Good job.

Thinkin about LUBR, huh?? I say do it!

 

[Broncology]

Still thinking about the LUBR idea. I am not a very quick decision maker ;D, and always changing my mind.

However...302, ZF, 3.5 SL, 1" BL, 33x10.50 KM2's (ARB's front and rear) with uncut fenders, a half-cab top, and bailie bilt bumpers (with a Warn 8274) might look pretty stylin'.

There is no "might" about it..... Most of us would be Jealous!;D

Ok...decided to go uncut. The dynacorn rear quarters came in yesterday, and sold my wheels and tires. Any suggestions on what wheels to go with? I'll be using the BFG KM2's (33x10.50R15).

I personally like to see LUBRs with factory rims with knobby tires. Don't know why but I like those hubcaps?!!!! Just my 0.02

 

[Broncology]

I too like the factory wheels with hubcaps (don't know why either). That is definitely an option!

[Broncology]

Well I "borrowed" ;D the idea for wheels from another build, looked to good to pass up. However, mine will be done alittle different. They should be here middle of the week, and will put on some KM2 33x10.50's.

Nice wheels!! Will we get to see the finished EB at Townsend in 2012????;D;D

 

[Broncology]

It will surely be done by next spring and in townsend for the show. I am planning on having it "finished" (minus paint) and back on the road by the end of September (of this year). The race is on!
