So I got the front fenders bent up, brakes plumbed, and the back seat mounted. What do ya think ?

Oh I also changed the rear springs to a chevy 54" main leaf mixed with some s-10 springs and now it is level and feels much more stable and still inboarded

Great fab work!

I will be watching to see how your 63s do with them inboarded. I've got them on the back of mine and have been wanting to inboard them also for more flex. Do you have any pics of how you did the front mounts?

True, but they are still inboarded and I would like to see his front mounts that he fabbed for inboarding them.

Thanks guys but sorry man I dont have any pics here of the inboard I will try to take some pics of it for you. And yes I went to the 54" pack and it feels much better than with the 63"

Alright so I won some twins from the T.G. run and I got them installed and I built my trans mount using frame tubes and a FROR center section Oh and I half a$$ primed the rear section.

well here are some updates. Tranny tunnel, the exhuast fit through the cross member as planed, you can kind of see the seat bracket I made it goes from slider to slider and has a hump over the trans.(he said hump)

oh and I finnaly got my power steering stuff but have yet to install it. All I need now is some money to complete this thing

Things Needed still
long slip for front
rear shocks
material for skid plate
1 set of 5.29's works without but would rather have
complete welding on the cross member
I think that is all the main stuff all the rest is just cosmetic

ninja turtle · « **Reply #85 on:** Dec 08, 2008, 10:15:47 AM »

sick. i like how you tied the sliders together. what'ca thinking for the skid?

BigBs84 · « **Reply #86 on:** Dec 08, 2008, 10:24:54 AM »

thanks. most likely 5/16 or 1/4 " plate frame rail to frame rail. Oh and I forgot to mention the battery has been relocated and is on top of the trans. tunnel in front of the shifters

ninja turtle · « **Reply #87 on:** Dec 08, 2008, 10:32:56 AM »

ahh, thats your battery. i thought you made ducting or something.
