Great work man, way to keep your thread rollin too.

 

thanks man, I dread that day if it ever comes.... god help them.

pictures uploading from tonight

 

Bout time I update, ordered some brackets through SD so I was waiting on those... got a call and they told me they shipped my custom cut duck heads, I was confused, but then soon realized that they do resemble a ducks head :crazy: Here they are


Upper control arm frame mounts to be exact, with stock alignment adjustment.
First took care of the rear crossmember, doubles as a bed mount, however I'm considering a tilt bed, not to be a show off, more so for ease of maintenance and such


Then got the rear cab mount done... wish I would have planned the frame a little more I don't love the fact it's so long, but that's what happens when you do the first one, you learn as you go



Then I wanted to finish the front suspension so I waited to do the last cab mount till later
Mocked them up


Needed to add the alignment pin

All pin installed welded and smoothed



All welded up

 

Finally the core support mounts, wanted to retain a factory design





That's it for now, I'm looking for a T56 atleast the case so I can finish the last of the crossmembers, having trouble finding one for cheap.

 

looks good.

call up Slowhawk (DEZ racing) and see if they have any T56 cores...

 

Looks fantastic!! Keep it up!!

 

keep at it one bead at a time...this thing is going to be a beast

 

Dude i just read the entire build thread on you truck so far..im so subscribing to it,you are my hero..you have some awesome fab skills..keep up the amazing work

 

Great to see more progress. Question, where are you doing your research at? Are there some chassis forums out there i don't know of?
