reTruck #1 progress report - assembling the chassis

We wheeled the frame, previously painted in epoxy and black chassis enamel, back in to the shop while the primer on the cab dries. We took it off the frame rotisserie and mounted it on jack stands for assembly.

The frame was carefully inspected by the shop cats, to be followed by installing the new front end and suspension components.

Front end parts

Some of the new front end parts are shown here. Click to enlarge the image. Shown in the picture are the new:

• upper and lower A-arm assemblies including bushings, ball joints and shafts
• inner and outer tie rods and adjusting sleeves
• idler arm
• Pitman arm
• shock absorbers

Rear end parts

The 10-bolt rear end is being treated to a complete rebuild, as well as new spring eye bushings for ride stability.

The parts shown include:

• Auburn Posi differential carrier
• new differential bearings, pinion bearings and races, axle bearings and seals
• new gear set: 3.42 ratio, new bolts
• U-bolts
• spring eye bushings and retaining bolts

Of course, there will be new rear shocks, brake lines etc. - stay tuned for more details.
