Thanks for sharing, Josh! I'd hafta say that, at the Quick Speed Shop, "bare-frame" MEANS "bare-frame!" Attention paid to "the details" at this point will pay dividends, later! 'Looking forward to the build! Enjoy! Be safe! Bro Harry
Awesome man, enigine looks beautiful. I like the look of the painted intake looks more factory that way. Maybe a silly question but well did the rear suspension work without shackles? This build is getting so exciting. thanks for the video
That's what I hoped on the engine. As for the suspension, it didn't work. This was just a yard plow truck for years and I assume the shackles rusted out and broke so they just bolted springs to the hangers.
i noticed the rear springs didn't have spring shackles on the rear of the springs as you know when the suspension travels up and down the springs get longer and shorter without rear spring shackles it has to bind that may be why it was so loose
You're right. The truck was just a yard plow truck for years and I assume the shackles rusted out and they just bolted springs to hangers when that happened. I have new rear hangers and shackles.
Wow how would the suspension work if they removed the shackles? That would have put tons of pressure on the spring pins and bushes causing lots of wear. And would have been a terrible ride.
I'm curious which brand of rust inhibitor/converter did you use? Im looking for a superior brand that can be applied over surface rust on my undercarriage.
It's Eastwood Rust Converter. I've had good success on restoration projects with it. That being said I mean vehicles that aren't driven year round in bad weather. I can't speak to its durability in the "real world". It also needs to be top coated with paint.
You are the King of the Torque Wrench and primer applicator for the turquoise paint.. Good color, looking ready to roar!!! 🔵
Thanks 👍
The engine looks great! I love the turquoise paint! 👌

Хорошая работа 👍

I think it more has to be with me starting with junk that has to be tore down to the bare frame just to start. 🤣
Keep working at it man! Making some good content, it’ll keep growing.
Dodge content back in the mix the next few months
Making some progress Josh, the front spring bolts were being difficult. Engine turned out good with the fresh paint.
Thanks! 👍

It didn't work, but at that point it was just a yard truck to plow snow so it didn't matter.
