1995 cclb restoration and build

[rascal]

Just read this thread for the first time. Great work; awesome build! Congrats!

Can't wait for more updates!

Nice build! What did you use for engine mount bushings? The rear look like they are metal to metal. Do you have a better shot of the front mounts?

The reason i'm asking is because I have a DT408 NGD and spicer 5 spd thats going into a Rockwell/tractor tired 95 F350 CC. Being its offroad only i will be re-using the full hydraulic steering I have on it now.

Oh yeah, this is also a bump and subscription so I dont miss the pics and videos to come.

Thanks,
Dave S.

Just picked up the new cab this morning! Rust free! Came with doors and all interior. Xlt with blue. That and new front clip only cost me $400

 

[bluedge8]

where did you get the cab?

 

[swamp_ratt]

Somerset auto

 

[swamp_ratt]

The new cab. Doors suck, but cab is really nice. Will be using my old doors as they're really nice. Got a rust free front clip as well! Will get new carpet and headliner and eventually would like the bucket seats rather than the benches! The bottom Will be coated in por15 as well

If your not going with blue interior I might be interested in the drivers door panel, let me know.

 

[swamp_ratt]

I am using the blue interior. just needs some new pieces. New carpet, headliner and driver front door panel needs replaced

 

[bluedge8]

cool, I hear that door panel is hard to find- crew cab only-

 

[swamp_ratt]

Yeah, I'm sure I'll find one. I know a few good places to look

Picking up a 38 gallon sd tank tonight for $50, and picking up my dodge aam 1150 rear axle tomorrow night

 

[bluedge8]

Well, if you find one power drivers door panel, find two LOL
Also I am wanting a stock front bumper if you or someone you know wants a ranch hand, let me know

 

[swamp_ratt]

I'm looking for a stock front bumper as well. When you coming out this way?

 

[bluedge8]

Idk, I have been working the equivalent of 2 full time jobs the last 3-4 months. I haven't had time to do anything but work. Your truck is coming along nicely

 

[swamp_ratt]

Here's a comparison of the dodge aam 1150 and the gm 1150

Gm close

Dodge close

Dodge left, gm right

Now you can understand why I switched to the dodge version. Also the dodge version has a speed sensor whereas the gm doors not

Nice work man! I plan on contacting you on how I want my excursion done.

 

[swamp_ratt]

pickin up a sky 3" rsk

Got the new rear axle in Saturday. Stock suspension with 35s. Top off the roof is at 7 feet so it stands pretty tall. Going to order some pmf 4" rear blocks to replace the factory blocks. Decided against lifting it due to its current height.

Yes that is a Rockwell 2.5 ton laying under it and that is the turbo I will be running. I still have to por15 the axles and leaf springs, but I needed to get it under to make sure it was right
