Well it looks like I'll be in a mad dash to get my rig going now that my bro's is done. I need it done by the first weedend of november. I picked up booger weldz old chassis a while. here's some pics of it when we loaded it on the trailer. with some axles and rollers.... even though they are 38's

and one when I got it home


I'll be swapping in a 4.3-th350 and either a dana 300 or dual toy cases or something. I haven't made up my mind.

so far the only thing I've done is modify the front spring hanger for a fullwidth axle.
I have changed my mind and need to redo it again. I'll be moving it forward a little more.

The suspension will be toy rears front. possibly 51" rears. depends on how far forward I want to go and 1/4 ellips in the rear using 57" fords cut in half using the long side. the shackles have felx joints in them. with a dual triangulated 4 link. Here's a pic of the rear axle. with my 14 bolt truss and pinion guard on it. not sure if i'm using it yet

no pregress  yet. I did get some parts. 8 flex joints, I still need to get some bushings, I also got some link brackets from poly performance and also some adjustable brackest from ballisticfabrication.com and welded them up.

They seem pretty good. I just need to make the link and mount the drivetrain and then set up the links. Take a guess and hopefully wheel it when I'm trying to get done.

well absolutely no progress lately. moved into another house. I did pick up a cpi 4.3 and a jet th350 and 4.7 tcase. selling the t-case and adapter and going with 23 spline dual cases. the motor mounts should be here soon hopefully and I'll put it in.
