Well I made the move. I now currently live in Boise after moving from Eugene, OR 3 weeks ago.

for those who have never been to Coloradok5.com I'm Jeremy AKA 55willy.
It's a 1955 willy's wagon on a 1977 K5 chassis with 3/4 running gear.
TBi motor and sm465-205 combo. both axles are locked as are my rims :thumb:

Cut out my new firewall, trim my shock hoops and finish my rear bumper.

wheres the best place to get new u bolts. I played with my other new ones long enough to strip them out. I can get them made back in Eugene for $24 for the 4 any size or shape. also best place to buy steel to make my seat mounts? and best selection of bolts is where???

u-bolts- Valley spring on executive dr.
Metal- Metal supermarket just down the dtreet from them.
hardware- Industrial hardware on 48th in garden city.

 

[55Willy]

Yup here too......Along with alot of other stuff,,, but Kevin will probably make 'ya a better deal.

I have to pay the help etc......

How about a torch, I need to melt out some old bushings in my front springs?????

no wagon here yet so no hurry just needs to see who and where...

 

[twistedjack]

No torch, boise spring charges 8 bucks per U-bolt!

 

[55Willy]

hhhmmmm for $8 difference I can get the others and have my brother put them on there before I go get the wagon.

Also best place for driveline work?? I need a rear one shortened.

man for every day I have been here I was in Eugene for a year. I could tell ya who had what and where and who worked that day and what the price was,LMAO!!!!

 

[muddinmike]

best place jims drivetrain. best price tims dynabalance. HUGE difference in quality though. Although six states just opened a drive line shop, I haven't had first hand experiance there though.

I think norco has a torch :finger:
