11-1/2 ft of cab

Latest issue has my friends and I stumped. These trucks either came with std brakes or hd ones. I went to replace the front wheel bearing which after taking off the dust cap I noticed a few bearing went missing and the whole thing was junk.

Issue being Is that the std bearings fit the spindle, yet the brakes are the hd rotor bearing size. Part of me thinks that theres no way to mix the rotors between the different spindles but I have no clue whats actually wrong. Called LMCtruck and they were no help at all sadly.

Did install a new head unit after making a nice harness to find that the oem plug end was cut off so I had to go through wire by wire.

Not like anyone cares....but updates

So the spindle issue was deffinitly a fun one, ended up being the non hd spindles with hd brakes, so the only bearing doing anything was the outer, and both exploded upon pulling the brakes off. Also I was having what I thought to be air in the lines since my brakes sucked ass usually when id start the truck up, nope they are awesome now due to the rotor not moving about an inch.

Did a tune up as well, no pics but the plugs and wires were shot. Now it runs perfectly and has a shiny chrome air filter which I ****.

Need to notch for tie rods, and get it to an exhaust shop to move the crossover so I can lay frame up front

Bought these trailer fenders...but they are a little short so going to have a friend roll up some fenders and a notch cover, may be able to use these up front however after a lot of cutting.

Looking good mate! That spindle crap would drive me up a damn wall!

I need to look for a work truck rack so we can roll around in style, Ohh and if you don't use those trailer fenders, i will buy them off you if they fit in my bed for when i get time to clean it up.

Good thing it only needed new spindles tho so it wasn't too expensive. Someday ill get new brakes all along but bearings sure helped out a lot.

pics, nothing special and I need headers but cant decide which to go with. One stock side is cracked and id replace with stock, but I don't see the point in that one.

[double_oh_9]

makes so much more sense than lifting a truck with a ladder rack ha. i love these things this is sweet

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

On the first page, I was scrolling down and kept saying "please add a ladder rack, please add a ladder rack..." And then I saw it, and it was glorious.

I dig the theme. Keep up the good work!

EDIT: Of course, you know it's not a work truck unless you roll with about a case worth of empty Coors Light cans in the back and two or three Mexicans.

wooden bed looks rad.

Decided yesterday to stain and protect the wood and went with some for a deck since it was a better price and made for outdoors. Good thing as well since it rained last night all night.

Need to do the front tubs tonight so I can drive it since my jeep has to go to the body shop, just worry about driving it without any
