Rebuildin My 78

4xfan78 · Dec 14, 2004

I have completed tearing everything down on my 78 and now waiting on the dana44 and 3rd member for my 9" to come back from the shop. I am having 4.56 gears installed. Just got a digi. camera so i'll be posting some more pics of it when I get them. Will not let me post the pics I wanted but this is what it did look like.

If your posts are not making it through its probably bacause its too high of resolution. Plus the picture size is much larger than it should be resulting in higher than 100KB allowed. Usually reducing the image size works.

Looks like a very capable wheeling rig. With new tires it will look sweet.

Looks good. What did you paint your interior with?

4xfan78 · Dec 27, 2004

Nothing professional I used rustolium primer and duplicolor truck bed liner paint ( the stuff thats like rhino-linning) sounds cheap but it turned out pretty good.

I'm using that Duplicolor stuff in the back of my bronco. Did you sray it or roll it on?

.... ived used both on my 77, the roll on stuff is really HARSH stuff.... we were using small brushes for corners, and it was eating through the cups we were holding it in..... the spray on walmart cans are awesome...... B)

i bought an undercoating gun for like 10 bucks and sprayed the herculiner on, it worked great.
por-15 is an amazing product for you guys in the rusty regions

4xfan78 · Jan 5, 2005

I used the spray stuff not messy covers good and blends in great. I have heard of the pro-15 but it costly also. Mine is just a temp. until I get the money to rhino linned the inside.
