RnuovZ71 SAS build

[RnuovZ71]

I have finaly collected most of the parts I needed to start the SAS on my 92 ECSB Chevy. This next week I will be getting my springs in along with all the stuff for my hydro steering. Tomorrow I'm going to order my detriot lockers and 4.56s front and rear. it should be 9" in front and 8" in the back.

What I would like to have done still Is get the bed sprayed w/ rhino liner(or the like), I would also like the have the quarter panels rhino lined. Then I need a new motor. The list goes on with odds and ends, but It will slowly come along.

This is the list of stuff I have so far...

78 dana 60 kingpin front.
87 dana 70 rear.
ORU SAS kit +6" in spring length.
16x10 cast black procomp rims.
Kingpin rebuild kit.
New pads/ shoes for the brakes.
new ujoints for the axle shafts.
37x13.50 mickey thompson Baja Claws.
4.56s Front & Rear.
Detriot lockers F/R.
Hydro steering stuff.
Draglink.
Steering arm.
Tie rods.
Brake lines.
Hub Bearings.
Ubots and Ubolt plates.
Ujoint rear axle.


List of stuff I still need...
Front driveline.
Shocks.
Time, time, time and more time.
I know I'm forgetting a few things but oh well...

BTW the stock gears and carriers out of the front and rear axles need to go. The D60 front has/had 4.10 I think 50+ shipping is fair. The D70 Rear has/had 3.73s 50+ shipping. The stock 3.73 from the 10 bolt rear and front, I need to get rid of also. I need some room here in my shop, If there is anything you need PM me I may have it. :LOL:

[red4x4chevy]

So whenever you feel like it you can box up that old lift and send it to my house.

[RnuovZ71]

All my hydro assit stuff came in today(i'll get pics later). How ever I need to go and get a rebuild kit for the PS gear box/ find and rebuild a 2wd gear box so I can get a drop pitman arm.

I'm still waiting on my springs. A frind of mine is going to show/ teach me how to set gears. So I can get the rear D70 in place(I may even do a shackle flip). Then I need to remove the BL and ALL spacers. I still need to clean out the in part of the axle B4 I set the gears and set in new seals. So I hoping for a productive week end.

[m3gumby]

looks like a great build. subscribed

[RnuovZ71]

Crap, I ran into a little snag. when I ordered my springs I told the guy go head and run my card. So this intire time I thought I prepaid and come to find out they wherent. I guess the guy didnt do it. So now I have to wait till my next pay check to get them.
And I dont get paid untill the 15. Oh well looks like it will only slow me for 2 weeks. I am going to however get EVERYTHING ready for when the spring get here I can just get everything mounted.

[tonxcab]

Are you selling the old lift kit

[Koots]

Nice pile of parts, which equates to a nice chunk of change :eek:
Good to see the SAS underway though and good luck.

looking good

[FordeatinZ71]

oh hell yea man! this is a build i've been lookin forward to for a bit...can't wait to see it done...good luck with it all!

[RnuovZ71]

Well I didnt get what I planed done. maby next week end, however since I ran into a few snags. I'll go ahead a tear into my PS gear box and rebuild and drill for the hydro assist. I did get the knuckles back on tho(yay) everything is painted and awaiting gears and spring. I also got all my tie rodends for the crossover and tierod.

I was thinking hiems untill I found out they are illegal on the highway. I'm sure I could get away with it, But I'm not going to take the chance. The cops around here do cheak for illegal Mods. So 3/4" tie rods will do.

[Drumaniac3000]

Any idea why heims are illegal on the highway?

[RnuovZ71]

Any idea why heims are illegal on the highway?

I should have asked but I didnt have the time. There is alot of hearsay on many forums. But I think asking a local cop would be you best bet. I was told be a couple guys, "its do to the fact that they can fail at any give time". But so can a tierod end so I really dont know.

But its just a local thing here(as far as I know), You might beable to run 'em where you are.

It would be a state thing, as versus a local thing.

I would as the state inspection station. If they pass, or can't find legislation that specifically says you can't, then rock it.

[Drumaniac3000]

I was told be a couple guys, "its do to the fact that they can fail at any give time". But so can a tierod end so I really dont know.

I am involved with the SAE Mini Baja program at school and we are using heims for all of our suspension joints. Granted it is a go-kart that will never see more than 35mph vs a FSC, but we are using heims for our control arm pivots.

I know that they have considerable strength in tensile loading so I don't see what the problem is. The ball popping out of the outer shell would be the only failure point I could see happening. But even that would only be with a very large shear load.

Oh well, kinda like other bs laws everyone has to deal with.

I wonder if anyone is having problems with the

Talk about straped for time to work on chit. Between striping the rest of the truck down for the buyer of my lift, and trying to get both front and rear axles together. I still have to run outa town to get the metal I need to make the tierod, 3/8" should be good enough. I still need to get a rebuild kit for the PS gear box, and 2wd sector shaft for the Gear box. Need to drill it and tap it. Need to get pay cause I want my damned springs. And to top it all of I'm flat broke after all off this...

[m3gumby]

I like the look a lot

[FordeatinZ71]

that's gonna look slick...i can't wait to see that sucker flex!

[RnuovZ71]

that's gonna look slick...i can't wait to see that sucker flex!


:LOL: I cann't wait to see it with an axle under it.

[FordeatinZ71]

hahahaha i heard that man!

[RnuovZ71]

Currently I'm held up. I need money for my springs, I also need my springs so i can finish mounting the sas kit. Then I dont know if my buddy will have anytime to do my gears in the near future. witch is alright I guess, it not like i'm in a huge hurry. I'm still missing springs and shocks.

[FordeatinZ71]

yea, i'm held up working on my truck too...i have to wait to get some bills caught up and then i can commence the rebuild...

[gearz]

Know all about the do a little bit wait do little bit wait. Like you said big $$$$, Time invested, finished truck with SAS ******************PRICELESS******************
I'm ordering the last of my parts today. Order spring last Fri. can't wait for them to show up and see how it is going to look with all the lift finally on. Looking forward to seeing yours done too. GOOD LUCK!

[RnuovZ71]

Everything is waiting on the springs to come in. I'll have the gears set sometime this week. Both axles are ready to go -the gears. I'm hoping by the end of next week I'll have both the front axles under the truck.

[BuckWyld]

Can you buy complete sas kits online that includes everything but the axels...?

[TAWL_BOY]

Not really. Buying a "new" axle would be big bucks. Start lookin' on classifieds and junk yards.

I got lucky and found a 78HP D60 for $700 and I sold it a year later for $1600 but I had rotated the pinion 18*, 5.13 gears and it had a hydro assist ram.

[camo99Z]

Hey man did you sell your old axles with the 4.56s and truetrac?

[RnuovZ71]

Hey man did you sell your old axles with the 4.56s and truetrac?

Cheack your PMS


Can you buy complete sas kits online that includes everything but the axels...?

Kind of...

you can go with either ORU(pricey but good) or SKY(little less complete but cheaper price) SAS shackle kit. The ORU came with everything but, shocks, springs, steering componets, and axles.
But everything else listed you can get from them, but its going to cost you. Alot of stuff I Pieced together.


BTW springs are on there way, I still want to double cheak everything b4 I finish weld everything. I'm hoping by the end of the month I'll have the springs mounted and the gears in the axles so I can get them under the truck.

[bullsbowtie]

Looks good. Cant wait to see it done! hopefully one day ill do this to my old truck.

[bggrnchvy]

Rod ends, aka heims (misnomer), are not illegal on the road in CA.

A good rod end is leaps and bounds ahead of the strength of a similarly sized tie-rod end. There are plenty of terrible $7.50 3/" 1 peice rod ends out there you should avoid, however a good 3 peice like an FK or even a QA1 for the limited misalignment oyu need in steering is a good choice.

[RnuovZ71]

Rod ends, aka heims (misnomer), are not illegal on the road in CA.

Thats good to know, and a bit strange at the same time.

I'll have to cheak into it.

[silverado_nolan]

good... I can watch you do it... then do it myself :read: :D

[RnuovZ71]

Finaly got the springs, and know I just need to finish mounting them...
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f159/BigZ71/Springs.jpg

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f159/BigZ71/Progress.jpg

I still need to mod the exhaust a little...
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f159/BigZ71/exhaustmod.jpg

Well this is where she sits as of right now, althought not pictured. I do have the front spring mounted on one side of the hanger.
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f159/BigZ71/SASChev.jpg

I sould have the gears in some time this week. I also got my tires mounted today(i'll get pics soon) I'll pick them up after work or b4 work tomorrow.

[94Yukon]

Looking good man.

[silverado_nolan]

ORU is only OBS right?.... what made you choose ORU over ORDirect?

[RnuovZ71]

ORU is only OBS right?.... what made you choose ORU over ORDirect?

How long of springs does the oru+6 kit use?

[RnuovZ71]

37x13.50R16s

How long of springs does the oru+6 kit use?

53 1/2"s

stock 80s chevys use 47 1/2"s

[m3gumby]

Those claws look amazing. How quickly do they wear down?

[nebraskaz71]

I was lookin at the +6 kit but ya ORU prices suck for springs. I assume you have to get custom springs for that length though.

[RnuovZ71]

I dont know' I'll let you know when I get my truck rooling again.



I was lookin at the +6 kit but ya ORU prices suck for springs. I assume you have to get custom springs for that length though.

Yeap, I got alcan springs. I paid a little less that 1200 bucks for 4 springs and shipping.

[Bens95cobra8594]

Wow man, this is the truck to watchout for... really nice job. Looks like an effing monster.

Long Live the OBS! ! !

[BuckWyld]

[RnuovZ71]

Gears Are in! I still have a ton of odds and ends too get, IE brake lines, brake fittings, shocks, ujoints, front driveshaft(maby a rear driveshaft), New hub bearings and much more...

Althought a few splines are fugged in one of my hubs so I may need new one. I need a new PS gear box. mine is shot, then I get to take it apart and drill and tap it.

So When I get time I hope to have it on an axle sometime soon. :LOL:

[RnuovZ71]

Here are a few pics for yall to look at...

I'm useing an old spring pack and jack to lift the springs to mount them

BTW the Pass side of the truck is a bitch to drill holes in.

[RnuovZ71]

I havent had much time to work on the truck or anything related to it lately. I've been to busy with other stuff I put off that I need to get done. Anyways I'll have plenty of time tomorrow night to work on it. I hope I'll be able to have both axles under it by the end of the night.

[RnuovZ71]

I have the the rear axle in place, and I just finished the front axle. So tommorow night I should have it under the truck.

[FordeatinZ71]

[RnuovZ71]

Well I have the PS box in. I Need to finish the tie rod, and drag link. I also need to make a bracet for the ram. I still need to make shock mounts for the front. I have the rear done. I need to get my steering done and put tires on it and drive it to the welding shop so I can finish the front bumper. I also need to finish the exhaust too.

[RnuovZ71]

Dam near done. I have the tie rod done, drag link done, trac bar done, it all just needs paint. I have the 3" BL out from under the bed, the cab is next. then shock hoops and shocks are the last bit to do.

[FordeatinZ71]

Hell of an idea... And I am gonna jack that idea :aniteef:
I made a huge cross member right above the drive shaft for my ladder bars anyway so I dont think moving that one will compromise strength.

[RnuovZ71]

Hell of an idea... And I am gonna jack that idea :aniteef:

Well hell the damn drive line was hitting the fugging crossmembers so I moved it.

BTW do have pic of you cross above the driveline??

[RnuovZ71]

sweet! it's almoooooost there!


I had the 37" on it last night, but I didnt take an pics. Once I'm done and all the bugs are worked out this truck will be damn near how I want it.

[LPG PWRD]

BTW do have pic of you cross above the driveline??
Can get pics this weekend. It consists of 2 1/2" OD 1/4" wall tubing that we cut into 2 18" pieces which was welded to 3/16" plate steel 5" x 8" one one side of each tube. Visual looks like an overkill mortal shell firework tube. Then we machined 2 1/8" solid roll down to 2" OD on the ends and 1" in the center. This piece slipped in the 2 tubes. Placed it all on the inside of the frame and butted the plate up to the frame rail, centered the turned down section over the driveshaft for a lil more clearance. I'll get you a pic and you can understand it a bit better.

[LPG PWRD]

I hate rain and bare metal :teddy:
http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/131443/ladderbarx.jpg

[RnuovZ71]

The truck moves and steers its self. All I need to do know is make a larger resivor for the PS pump. Cause the ram sucks all the fluid out. So All I need to do now is shock mounts and get shocks. Oh and a front drive line.

[silverado_nolan]

makin a lot of progress man... good work

[RnuovZ71]

Well Crap!

I went to put the rear bumper back on today, But I never noticed that when the BL was done they cut off the mounting points for it. So know Ill have to fab up something or build my own.

[blznnp]

looks good man, can't wait to see it with the 37's on, i just bought a truck very similiar to yours once your done. once i get another vehicle and more money i want to redo a lot of the SAS swap and do 4 link front and rear. hardest part is the guy i bought it from didn't know exactly what parts were what and the mounts are kinda sketchy...

If your still trying to get rid of stock 3.73 rears let me know. build looks great btw!

[RnuovZ71]

All thats left is the Shock hoops, shocks, front driveline, Finsh welding the front bumper mounts, and remount the rear bumper. I should have the truck 99-100% complete in the next month or so. It really depends on money right now.

progress is comin along pretty nice man! its gonna be awesome when its done!

1) what did you do for upper front shock mount? (or lack there of)
2) how much suspension lift for the springs did you go with? (dont include what the bracket kit adds)
3) why didn't you put rear disc brakes on?
4) why did you wait for me so we could finsh around the same time?
5) whos crossover steering kit did you use?
6) do you think having claws makes you cool?
7) for some reason I like the no rear bumper look :dunno:

I want answers now!! :aniteef:

Fuggers!!! I want a damned trac bar... Ohh wait I made one already!!!

I need a new Motor so bad, I dont think I've seen so much smoke come out of an engine B4 in my life!!!

[GreaseDog]

yeah, it did. but mine is the 2wd kit with fancy bump stops that weld into the coil bucket, the drivers side has an upper mount for the track bar, as does the spring plate on the passenger side.

[RnuovZ71]

The rear is fully mounted, the front still needs alittle work
