Nice truck!

Bob the bed and make some strong rock sliders. the less body damage the better. and if you haven't already, get rid of the 2 piece rear driveline.

bustatoy · « **Reply #13 on:** Feb 28, 2006, 09:44:18 AM »

ya im planning on it just havent got that far yet next to do on mylist with exo cage

Sorry to jack thread but why is it recommended to replace the two piece rear drive shaft? By the way nice rig dude! Del

bustatoy · « **Reply #15 on:** Feb 28, 2006, 07:44:19 PM »

two piece drive line is a weak link in the drive train the less u joints the better and it is just a piece of junk in the begining anyways im going square driveline front and rear for trail drive lines then just regular driveline for the highway

bustatoy · « **Reply #16 on:** Feb 28, 2006, 09:44:03 PM »

any pics of your raised gas tank?

bustatoy · « **Reply #21 on:** Mar 01, 2006, 12:31:18 AM »

hey thanks for the exo ideas might come in some good use my bender should be here in 3 weeks and i already have to steel so just wait for the bender and about the raised gas tank i dont have any but i will take some the only thing i really did was i cut the mount off the frame and used the mounting plate that is between the tank and the frame mount bolted it to the tank then jacked the tank up to where it will clear the bed with a 2 inch body lift then i welded it in one corner and made reinforcements for the mount then on the front of the tank i placed it on top of the crossmember instead of under and took like 3/4 nuts and placed then there as spacers and drilled the welded nuts out and ran 1/4 bolts though and thats about it for that not that hard to do but i will try to get some pictures of everything i did

bustatoy · « **Reply #22 on:** Mar 03, 2006, 08:53:04 PM »

you know what really sucks is waiting for parts that you need to finish putting a motor together ya it really does suck i have been waiting two weeks for a rocker arm assembly and i cant really go any farther on putting my motor together cause i need it to finish putting it together this really sucks so thats the delay on my build up sorry about it but parts on back order really sucks
