take a look here

well im now on a midnight shift so i get all day to work on the truck. this is what i got done today









were getting closer to drivable i need to get a new fuel pump and then we should beable to get this bad boy fired back up

 

Awesome! So are we gonna see some more progress in here or what?

 

yeah im trying im going to get this all tacked up then im going to lift the cab so i can weld the top part ive been struggling with the front pillars i keep messing up the fitting but thats cause i get impatient with them.

 

Cool, I'll be watching.

 

Thanksgiving keeps getting closer, bro!
Better hurry.

 

How does your cab mount now?

 

its goint to be solid mounted to the cage

 

got more work done its slow right now but im getting there got the second pillar tacked up and the front roof bar. the seat is also placed in the truck to give you and idea of the clearance around it.







in the last pict i know it looks like the cage is leaning well the cab is lifted up on the drivers side to tack in the bottom of the pillar. i didnt have anyone to help pull the block out from it so i couldnt level it back out.

 

well i got a wild hair up my ass and decided to change from an a arm to a j arm set up it has now given me 21 inches of travel WOOOT. here are the picts.







the top view you can see i have alot more room for the shocks

 

Your steering wont travel 21"

 

looking good, currious to see how you box in the spindle-to-UCA mount. I like the upper arm design though, is it 4130?

 

Well im glad you reaapeared on the thread chris its been awhile since you posted on it lol i know the steering will be the issue now im going to use hiems on both ends which should give me the angles i need for the steering itll take time to work out steve i plan on doing a plate with a semicircle in the middle for the uniball to rotate in also will be adding one more tube from rear hiem to that plate, the material is 1.75 .120 wall dom the last bar will be 1.25 .120 wall dom and then it will be plated on top

 

here is a basic idea
