more pics, Had a friend machine the dually rim clamping rings to accept 60 degree taper nuts, so I can mount later style hubcaps on(not the correct cap in the picture, the dually ones have not yet arrived.) Final paint scheme will likely be camo, or straight green. exhaust is a 2.5 dual...

Life has a way of making things go to the back burner, like updating this thread..... but done quite a bit of work, 292 runs, NV4500 shifts nice, brakes are mostly bled, was chasing leaks and possible front caliper still leaking. I'm working on cleaning up the wiring, and getting it more road...

I've always liked the 292, very torquey. I had recently acquired one, and was originally going for a lowered 2wd, but found this CUCV at a price I couldn't refuse. since the wiring was a mess, and the engine had some issues, I felt no issue with modifying for my want, which included being a...

Score!... Now the only thing I would like to find is the rear bumper and shackles cheap. Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

Been a little while, 60+hrs of work a week hasn't helped, lost brakes in my deuce as well... But got the wiring harness removed, steering column out, I have a standard column to go in and a factory harness for the 292 to go in. I am waiting on an adapter for my manifold to carburetor to finish...

Got some more work done, had to completely rework the headers, lost a few nights fixing that... but it's fixed, and clears the frame now. On to some more important stuff... Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

Tires, used, but good enough to get me by for a little while. Cab back down in its correct spot. And another trinket for the engine. Hoping tomorrow is good enough to get some more things done tomorrow, lost some time replacing the pinion yoke and u-joints in my other truck. Sent...

It's on top of the factory paint, my thought was replacement frame? Couldn't find any reference to the numbers though. Definitely first time I've seen it, but most around here have some significant rust as well... Thanks, I seriously thought going back to stock, but would have needed an engine...

Put in 2.5" lift springs, put front axle back under, and received a goody for the engine as well... Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

I got it jacked up and laid on a couple 2x6, then I used our small lawn tractor, and put tension on a towstrap and slid it very carefully back. Normally I still have the axles under a truck, so all I do is jack up the cab on sawhorses, then roll the frame forward and set the cab back down...

Sat, March 30: I moved the cab back, and scraped/sanded in prep for paint, degreased the whole frame, because the truck stick out of the garage currently, I laid a tarp over the opening. Sun, March 31: Started painting, chassis saver requires a good recoat window, 3-8hrs, up to 24...

I knew I was replacing the frame shackle bushings anyways, but the old ones were definitely past their useful life! The one worn all the way through is the drivers side, the spring was actually contacting the frame. Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

I'm planning either a 2.5" lift or 4", leaning to 2.5" depends on clutch slave clearance. There's 2" clearance with stock springs-which means not enough upward travel to provide adequate clearance. My plan for the 292 is long tube headers, 2.25" exhaust, and some sort of single chamber design...

Brackets removed, I removed all the brake lines, they will be replaced, I was debating not, but one of them had a pin hole and it started leaking, not worth saving a few bucks saving them. Cleaning up real nice, should be able to paint tomorrow no problem. Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

I have a lot of time in the winter, it's a pain if I need to paint, but I can do a lot of mechanical work. I have planned a 292 truck for a while, this was a low mile engine from a lightly used farm truck, less then 20,000 original miles. My brother had a 72 C20, 5:13 rear end and SM465, he was...

Figured I'd post up my build here, it's based on a M1008 truck chassis, but with some major differences. First, I went with cab and chassis dually axles-they should be 4:10, but I have yet to confirm. I also did 63" Chevy 1 ton springs- almost all new trucks use this longer spring to help...
