Looks good so far. This is a very interesting build. Where in Mass. are you located?

 

Stoughton, 20 mins So. of Boston not too far from RI

 

About 35-40 min. away. Might have to drop by one of these days.

 

sounds good

 

if he asks you to close your eyes and hold out your hand... don't do it.

 

haha, ooohhh Kevin

 

excellent progress! did I mention I'm jealous? One day I'll be there

 

Thanks man!

Well I worked on it some today and got it flipped again to finish up the top.

New grinder and stuff

Some shots of how smooth it makes stuff

Threw some paint on to give you an idea of how smooth it really is, the edge isn't done in that picture by the way.



Laying frame BITCH, with no random holes, all were filled except the big ones


Tomorrow rear end should be off to be narrowed, and top half done being cleaning and metal finished. Cab soon? :hmm:

 

Damn... Makes me want to go out and work on something!!!

 

So I took out the measure tape and squares, and spent over an hour trying to figure out how much to narrow this thing and decide on my wheel BS....

Plan was to get 20x10s with 3.75"
well I can't :bawl:

If I did I wouldn't have enough room to put the nuts on the 4-link due to the back of the ebrake drum. So I tried a little more BS, but still no because of the ebrake cable the way it pulls the lever to engage would hit the 4link bracket. So I opted for 2.25" narrow and I'll do 5" BS. Makes me kind of upset and wishing I did things a little differently but I guess there's always next time... right?



Packed in the daily



Now not only am I having it narrowed, but the brake plate will have to be relocated this will allow me to run factory 10bolt disc brakes instead of keeping the 14bolts drum brakes.

Only question I'm left with is who sells axle ends for a 14bolt SF
