Three link plus panhard bar.

Got one just about finished up...gonna add a strap around the bushing tube and a pad up along the bottom for extra meat for rock scrapage.  Then I just need to make a duplicate and it is on to the axle.

Nah, going inexpensive on this...only thing I am spending money on really is the joints.  Besides, I just fixed the E-brake, let me enjoy it for a minute!

The worst part of drum brakes is getting the damn drums off!  Toys and Nissans are the worst. 

That reminds me, I need to check and adjust mine!

That's fine if you still got threads in the holes!  :tantrum:


I used to have to check brakes all the time at Les Schwab, and after a hour of fighting to get them off, the owner would say I tried to get them off before I came here!

You can use a tap if the threads are toast.  Don't even need the bolt, just keep threading the tap and the tap will push the drum off.

Frame brackets nearly done...need to add a plate that runs up the side of the frame and they are ready...
I even broke out the "tig" for these!  :disturbed:

Thanks, they came out OK.  I was smart and found the right size square tube to make it easier instead of trying to build brackets out of flat plate.  That always takes too danged long.

I also forgot to trim the rear-most lower corners down...gonna flatten them so as they aren't so sharp.

OK, I am pretty pumped.  The frame brackets came out just how I had planned in my head.  I think this is the first time something I planned for this truck has worked out just the way I wanted.  I need to figure out how to get this to happen more often.   :yesnod:
