ok finally got some things done. its gettin hard to do anything by yourself. nobody ever wants to come help with the heavy stuff.

have the cab on and the motor is hovering over the mounts. once the engine is in place i'll figure out the steering and track bar angles and set the pinion angle on the rerar axle and get this thing out to the shop to weld everything up. hopefully this can all be done this week

ok here is the first thing i got to. i wasn't happy how my first set of radius arms turned out so i made some new ones.. 2" .250 wall dom this time around about 30lbs lighter each and i put a bend in them to give me better clearance for those bigger tires.

old ones


new ones

not really. my dad took his heater back to his garage so it a little to cold out there. i've been collecting parts all winter, so as soon as it warms up i should be pretty close to wrapping it up.
