Thanks I love this truck.The truck looks great, I love that side shot with the flatbed finished, really turned out nice.
I have a question:
So, for the upper control arms for project TNT, it looks like you used a 1 1/4" - 12 TPI bolt with a CE-9114B bung. Cut the head off and welded it to a piece of 2" .250 wall with a bushing at the other end.....and on RR you use a bung with rod end (doesnt look like you used the bolt at all)...to make both style of arms adjustable at one end.
Did you change the design for driveability/handling reasons. Or simply ease of install or what parts you had at the time?
Also why not do the passenger side upper arm at all?
I used the bolts cause that is what I had. I realized by the time I bought the bolt and bushing it was only a couple bucks more to get a Johny Joint. All the upper does it keep the axle from flipping over so there is no need for another upper link unless you want to be anal. So since the Drive side is cast into the pumpkin naturally it is the stronger side to hook too. By making the upper adjustable you can adjust your caster and pinion angle.
