The rebuild of a rebuild

[bobbed_84_toy]

Drug this thing out of the bushes a couple weeks ago for another rebuild.:rolleyes:



Getting rid of some of the ghetto fab(more like making prettier ghetto fab:haha:)


Anyways, it got another axle swap, took 1 inch of body lift out(I'd like to get rid of it all but it's not worth it to redo the headers/exhaust at this point), new driveshafts(well, shortened old ones), new spring/shackle mounts, new shock mounts/bump stops, yada yada.


Still need to pull the dash as the heater box went up in flames one day(always keep a fire extinguisher in your rig). Motor is out to be rebuilt or replaced, then all the nickle and dime BS

I was, I think it's gonna get parted out though. My friend thinks he wants the body/frame, then I'm stealing alot of it's parts to get this one back together

No chrome doesn't get you home, but it makes you feel way mo badder asser when posting pictures on the interweb





had this little guy stop buy to check out the progress. He also made a buffet out of the flowers:haha:

 

[bobbed_84_toy]

Got the rear suspension pretty much finished up. Pulled everything out, painted it, added a brace to the shackles, built up the u-bolt plates so the bolts don't tear up the bumps, welded the spiders, welded the tubes to the center section, made a pinion guard, disc swap, etc.

 

[dove'd85]

looks sik but i hope you beef up those bump stop mounts...

 

[wheelinjp]

now werent you working on a ford shortbed? or is that someone else? looks good. Ive always liked your paintjob.:awesomework:

 

[bobbed_84_toy]

I've been debating this. They should be fine unless this thing sees some big air. I'll throw a brace in them.

Yup, and a chevy luv, and a first gen yota too:redneck:. Thanks for the comments :beer:

It's getting so close, driveway's a mess, I can't wait to yard sale the front 44 :redneck: (It'll have a 60 before next summer, if not sooner).

 

[dove'd85]

what kind of shocks are you running, the rig looks sik with the low stance, are you going to hack out your fenders or what?

 

[bobbed_84_toy]

FOA on the front, some old blown out ranchos on the back untill I can afford another pair of FOA's. Fenders will get hacked up here pretty soon

 

[bobbed_84_toy]

Cut out the old poo pipe roll bar that was in it and built a real cage for it. Mounted the steering column, and ignition box, and misc junk. Crossin my fingers for a shake down run in the back yard this weekend :squirrel::squirrel:

 

[bobbed_84_toy]

Chasin bugs out and redoing some more stuff. Although I spend more time cruisin around the back yard then actually finishing it :redneck:

 

[bobbed_84_toy]

One more

 

[dove'd85]

Just wait, the door panels are getting the same treatment :redneck:

HAHA your truck is all dirty~!

Nah, it's not even dirty yet:eeek:

 

[bobbed_84_toy]

On a not so joyfull note, it looks like this motor is garbage. It has a little baby knock in it. Sounds like a rocker is hitting the valve cover, but that's not the case as I just had the covers off to adjust the valves yesterday and all looked good.

Put the stethoscope on it, you can hear the noise pretty good from the passenger side valve cover, sounds like it's originating from the front of the crank, but not from the crank itself (put the scope on the crank, and the noise wasn't anymore audible). Time to start tearing **** apart :booo::booo::booo:

are ya gonna rebuild it?

 

[bobbed_84_toy]

It's toast. Pulled the bearings off the number two rod and it's all ready chewing itself up. This is a motor that I rebuilt a while back, but never put of lot of use into it. My old man went through it, honed the cylinders, polished the crank, and put new bearings in it to help me out while I had cancer. Some fawking help huh:rolleyes:. Now I have an expensive boat anchor that needs a new crank and bearings :rolleyes::rolleyes::mad::looser:

Looks like my web wheeling days are going to be significantly extended

are ya gonna rebuild it?

Eventually

 

[bobbed_84_toy]

Pulled the engine out today and tore it down. Doesn't look like I'm gonna be able to salvage the crank. Not sure what the dealio is but this thing just ATE some of the bearings. Front main on the crank is the worse, rear main being second worse. 7 and 8 rod bearings are the worse of the rod bearings. All the wrist pins, cam bearings, and cylinder walls look perfect, but the lower end just destroyed itself :eeek:

Anyone got a sbc bottom end kicking around for CHEAP? Something I can bolt my heads and acc. on and go

 

[bobbed_84_toy]

Pics of the damage. :eeek::eeek:


These two are of the front main

Rear main

7/8 rod bearings

Seems to be a lower end oiling issue? Top end of the motor looks perfect, the bottom, not so much. Time for a deeper pan I think. Any other ideas? Maybe a windage tray/crank scraper? Maybe a stock motor

 

[bobbed_84_toy]

Back together again :redneck:

Nice dude!!! It feels good to be behind the wheel again huh? :awesomework:
