Spoonman’s Little Tacoma

No kitchen sink?

 

That’s upper link mount on the axle. And oil pan. Looking toward the rear of the truck.

Nothing has touched the pan

Red hood head is scraping blue

 

Ah I see. Misunderstood it the first time reading it to fast.

 

WELLLLLLL

 

I didn’t make much progress tonight. Only added a little bit of meat to the rear leaf hanger. If for no other reason that I had to grind a lot of shit off back there and I was worried it’s getting thin being only 1/8” rectangle tube.




In the next day or two I should be able to begin mounting the fuel cell. Not sure exactly how to do it. But I’m going to remove that rotted out crossmember holding in the old tank and do something new. Mounted as low as possible, but not in the way when I link it.

 

Ruined.

 

Oh yea! This gunna be good

 

good thing you strengthened the frame at the rear hanger...

 

Haha I know eh..

 

Actually got a lot done today.

Started here


Fish plated inside and out at every joint.


The the new sections welded in





Ended here


Front and rear leaf perches in, made loads of progress today.

 

badass build.

 

Are you hand making these plates or do you have access to a CNC plasma?

 

I cut them by hand with a plasma or cut off disc. Then flap them nice

 

I did some nice welds tonight where people will actually see them. Which is rare as hell










Got started on the cell mount

 

Any plans of doing a 4 link in the rear?

 

Yes

 

Here’s what I’ve come to with.

 

Did a temporary fuel line hookup, jumped the fuel pump and was able to get it start. Tomorrow I’ll try to run all the lines and get some things buttoned up. Also mounted the battery box, and cut the battery cables to length.


I dig it.

Hoping tomorrow I can run all the lines clean, and have it running again.
