Rock Trac Rebuild #2

Postby TxPlates » Thu May 08, 2014 5:17 pm

Well as you're all aware, the Trac suffered some damage on the last run (yes I know it's been awhile) and it's time to rebuild. So I dropped her off at a friends body shop in town on Monday. I decided to have everything fixed, including old dents and what not. She'll be restored to look brand new (even though I know some will say why?, to that I say why not? lol). Went and put the deposit down today for the rebuild so that it would start now, they're estimating 3-4 weeks till she's done. One part they quoted me on was the tailgate to which what they could find was more than I wanted to spend, so I told them I'd find one and bring it up once obtained. I've got a few feelers out now that are close to me get one, and and e-mail to an ebay member that's close to my mom that has one that she can pick up for me should I decide to buy it.

So here are some pictures of before:

ImageImageImageImageImage

The shop is going to e-mail me updated pictures of the repair process along the way, so when I get them I'll post them up.

Also discussing with Randall on which new axles and hubs to get, we'll take care of those after it's out of the shop.

Here are my current thoughts towards that end:

Hubs:
Best option:


Decent option:


U Joints:
Best Option:


Low-end option:


Axle Shafts:
Outer axle shafts (You'll need 2):


Driver's side inner shaft:



Passenger side inner shaft:



Or, even better than all of the above (you'd still need hubs, but no ujoints or shafts) would be an RCV kit.



Note: You'd have to have the passenger side inner for the link above cut down 5.85"

What happened to the 4x4? I remember part of the problem was that it went out.

Gonna drop it off Monday and it'll be painted black to match. They'll swap out the ford emblems so I can keep the faded red ones Johnstone made.

So I dropped off the tailgate today to find out the shop can't locate the door that they were originally quoted for. I've made a ton of calls today with no luck. Got several feelers out with folks I know looking for me, so wish me luck.
