    My ‘85 build officially begins!

    Time for a little update. It's been really slow moving. I finally got the rear brace installed and somewhat completed. I was very happy the way it was going and looking once I put the patch panels in. Then, when I spot welded the patches to the new brace behind them, it warped like crazy...

    Another axle question

    I had decided on the rear end and went to Pulll-a-part to see what was there. But, the only ones they had was drum brakes so I passed on them. Now I am second guess myself on wanting full width and outboarded springs. My original thought on this was to do it for better ride and stability. I've...

    My ‘85 build officially begins!

    Thanks! That’s a great idea. I made all the spot weld holes today so I will add those tomorrow and then blast and prime.

    Over the next couple of days I plan to blast the area clean and prime it. Drill all spot weld holes, blast and prime new piece and get it installed.

    My ‘85 build officially begins!

    Time to catch y’all up. In September of 2020, I picked up this 85 that was someone’s project. No motor, trans, or transfer case. Just what I wanted. I wanted to LS/auto swap one so this was a good start. This really isn’t a good time financially for me but I’m not getting any younger. So i...

    Firewall overlay?

    Has anyone ever removed this overlay or whatever it is called? Rust is falling out from between it and the firewall and I want to fix it now. I’m assuming it it spot welded but just wanted to make sure.

    Missing firewall vin tag

    On the 85 I purchased, the previous owner started stripping the body and the firewall vin tag is missing. I have the one on the windshield but was and matched it to the frame stamping and title. I would like to know all the options it came with. Is there a site or place that can go back off the...
