bonvo Posted March 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 1/2 ton stuff is tempting considering how much easier it will make doing any form of brake work with the 3/4 i have to pull the axles :angry: Quote Link to comment

DRIVEN Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Thread jack alert: Something I've been working on for the past couple weeks. Thought maybe you might be interested. It belongs to my wife's coworker and is being referred to as "Operation Unfuck". I did a bunch of brake, suspension and steering work along with a 350 swap, full exhaust and tons of wiring. The 283 was wounded and the truck has been parked for about 5 years. He (mostly his wife) wants to sell it but if it doesn't sell it'll be back next spring for a 700r4. See the Ratsun battery hold down? Thread jack concluded. Quote Link to comment
