That body mount doesn't hang down as bad as I thought it would be. The rear shock hoop is looking good

ya, I put a half inch body lift on thefront four body mounts then mocked up the rear mounta flat against the cab. So they woulda been half inch lower but they're not bad at all. I like the rear shock hoop too

thanks

I got the gas tank mounts welded in today. took a little longer than i expected cause i had to clean up where the old crossmember was to make it a clean fit. Ill upload a pic lata

i think tomorrow im gonna start on the exhaust. Once the exhaust is done I should be able to set my cab down for good and finish connecting the wiring harness to the motor

swapped89 · « **Reply #821 on:** Nov 16, 2010, 10:45:55 PM »

couple pics. i still need to drill holes and weld in the bolts/studs for the tank but its pretty much done. Took a lil longer then I expected cause i had to clean up the frame where the old crossmember was. And Im gonna put some plate over that big ole hole right der.

Haha fo sho man. I will def be down to take you mobbin. Just gimme a heads up if/when u head up.

Last night I finished my gas tank mounts and welded up my exhaust. Took out the old 40 series flow and put in a 50 series my buddy gave me. Can't wait to see what it sounds like

Those bolts are welded to the bracket so they're like permanent studs

exhaust is up higher then it used to be and straight no bends excet the one that comes off the manifold.It's not welded in this pic, but pretty much exactly how it is now just needto put a turn down on it.

ya I gusseted the the body mounts that hang below the frame rails. Covered up the hole in the frame under the gas tank mounts. Finish welded the spring hangers and shock hoop. Then painted everything behind the cab.
Then I set the cab down and started hookin everything up in the engine bay

if all goes well today I may actually get to start it. $Beer Chug\'n$
... And I modified the old exhaust hangers for the modified exhaust I made. Before it just had some rope holding it up.
