As Davin always says, "When in doubt, get the torch out." In this episode of Redline Update Davin cuts off the rear suspension and rebuilds all the suspension components on our 1950 Chevy 3600. We hope you enjoy this episode of Davin working in the shop, it's a little different than most of our other Redline Updates.

I love how the "helper leaf" is just an entire extra leaf pack haha. Mans truck right there

@Stephanie9959 4 года назад

I like the slow blues guitar music. Love to watch you work.

@mvd2321 4 года назад

Really like how Dave is so enthusiastic on a less than stellar task. One thing, safety boots but no safety goggles when pounding on that bushing pin? As a pilot, I protect my eyes at all costs. Food for thought. Thanks for the great videos.

@Delatsch 4 года назад

It's a thrill to watch these videos! Davin is such a down to earth ARTIST. Simple and creative ways to renew and repair instead of just ordering hundreds and hundreds of dollars of parts.

@dinkydotzero 4 года назад

The OCD in me wants to wire brush all that and chassis black everything in sight now

@garethmiller6791 4 года назад

Same if I was going to do that much work I'd repaint the entire underside of the car. I would definitely leave the patina on the outside though.

@d-d-i 4 года назад

Why bother, since most of the underside is heavy duty stuff anyway, thick iron/steel, so little rust in there won't do any harm, nor it'll rust off anytime soon.

@michaela1655 4 года назад

Or sand blast it

@bobstienke178 4 года назад

Oh hell yeah thats what I would be forced to do. Too much hard headed in me I guess. Bead blast, then black primer.

In contrast to my own attitude when restoring my 1953 1-ton International R-132 pickup, Davin is relaxed and like a Zen Master. I have learned a lot about my own truck from watching you work on this Chevy. Thanks a LOT!

So so cool! Best to see the challenges with "vintage" car/truck "rustoration".

I know some of this mundane stuff gets old but I enjoyed seeing how that was done and can only imagine how much better it will ride. Mike

8:50 you can try to hide the web page header, but I know McMaster-Carr when I see it! That place is great for random hardware.

@moparedtn 4 года назад

High quality all around here. Davin of course, but also the production and editing staff as well. It's always a pleasure when a new Redline is published. The lessons being taught here apply to just about all manner of old rides in some fashion - and you wouldn't be here if you didn't have one of your own to play with, right? Get out there and work on 'em! -Ed on the Ridge

Thanks Ed!

@tomnekuda3818 4 года назад

Always good to see Davin at work.....sounds about like me when I'm workin'. I learned to drive on a Chevy like this but half-ton. My younger brother and I would load it up with bales....go out to the pasture....put it in "creeper gear".....set the throttle get in the back and throw out hay after we cut the strings....then run along....jump back in the cab....take it off hand throttle. We had it down to an art. I also used to drive a '49 Ford pickup with flathead V8.....loved the sound of those old flatheads. Good memories.

@raylarkin5004 4 года назад

I wanted to clean it up too. But let me add, you moved through that whole process at what seemed a smooth and effective rate. And javing done only half as much myself on my own 51 Chevy some time ago, it drove a million times better. Nice watch and thanks!👍

@mkbarber65 4 года назад

@jeffjankiewicz5100 4 года назад

Love this series Davin. Wish I had a shop to work on my 91 Silverado, 300,000 miles and still going..but needs all new bushings. No lift here, all work done on jack stands, but I`m getting too old for ground work. 62 now, been wrenching on my own junk for 46 years now. Just swapped out the 700R4/4L60 that finally gave up the ghost by myself. Fought me every step of the way(no torch, no induction heater). Next though is to fix the coolant leak...no smoke..no drips on ground...tiny puddle on intake. Gotta save up cash for new parts...trans killed my budget..lol. Can`t wait to see the finished 3600. Nice job Redline rebuilds.

You do an excellent quality job. Your videos are wonderful. Greetings from Argentina!

@N1RKW 4 года назад

Kudos for showing how to repair the original parts instead of just replacing them with modern equivalents. I've learned a lot about how truck suspension was made back in the day, which wouldn't have happened if you had put in all new components from a company like QA1 or similar (nothing against these companies!). Also, kudos for making use of McMaster-Carr! I can't count the number of times they had exactly the right bit of unobtanium in stock and had it to me the very next day. They are a great company to work with!

@markk3652 4 года назад

Makes me glad I have an early ford with transverse front and rear springs! Half the work, and polyurethane is soo much better than the stock rubber bushings. Those kyb gasadjust monotube shocks are the best. Put those under my 2011 F150 supercrew 4x4, and the jello-ride went away.

@paulstan9828 4 года назад

So cool to have the right tools and the knowledge!

@Oddman1980 4 года назад

I have an old and obscure dirt bike, and I used to have a Mitsubishi truck. I'm very familiar with Grainger and McMaster-Carr for finding parts, especially bearings! Once I figured out the little truck had what basically amounted to a forklift engine in it, I found that the forklift shop could get me parts faster than the local Autozone.

@ericsevern 4 года назад

Yeah, we like these. Keep them coming. (My wife noticed an uncommon smile on my face while watching this.)

Hi, Mr. Davin. May my message be read, I'm a student from Indonesia, even though I don't really understand English, I'm quite thankful for being given a clear explanation through Mr Davin's video, hopefully the following video has an Indonesian translation.

Great job on the rear springs. One comment though, why didn't you clean up the spring leafs while you had it apart. I can tell you from experience that it makes a world of difference in ride.

To enlarge a hole with a two flute drill throw a thick rag over it and drill right through the rag. Sounds crazy but it drills smooth as silk without chatter or the "three corner" triangle effect that Davon mentioned.

@davidr4332 4 года назад

Cotter pin style remind me of the push bike peddle cotter pin when i was younger knocking my ankle bone on it and ripping the skin off , lol.

@PETERLINNAH 4 года назад

Sweet. Nice job. I probably would have put those helper springs back in just to keep the integrity of the one-ton load. You never know when you're gonna need to carry a shipload of bricks.

@andrewkiwi1 4 года назад

I would have done them both at the same time, to save reinventing the wheel twice. just hang the axle on two 2'' ratchet tie downs and a rope or chain around the pinion. At 10.48 split the 2 bushes with the hacksaw and grind up a diamond shaped punch and split and drive them out. I learned that at the "automotive school of butchery". Or use the 2 sockets and the horizontal screw press of last resort method. The vice. LOL at 13.30 if you have access to a lathe turn up a piece if steel to the id of the bush plus an inch longer to hold it. then drill and tap the end to take a bolt and washer so its clamped on the ends. Then take of your 010'' off all the bushes. Nice lathe.

@vettekid3326 4 года назад

There's a third option when installing bronze bushings to bring them back on size and that is roll burnishing. It displaces the material out to the side you set it at and also get rid of and deformation caused by pressing the bearing in.
