[yotacrawler1]

hey guys this is idk i think my first post? hahah this all seems a little confuseing at ive never been on a fourm for my rig but il start off by telling u about that. its an 1985 pu shortbed my grandpa bought it brand new off the show room floor in 1985 lol. he gave me the truck about 2 years ago it had no motor no tranny no seats no rear axle hahah. and so i bought a parts truck a 1986 22rte for $300 beautiful truck haha but blown turbo and i didnt wanna have to do a SAS right away so i pulled tranny motor  seats alot of stuff it was pretty damn bare by time i was done with it and i sold the truck for $315 haha to a guy who wanted it for an efi swap.
so now about week and a half ish later my baby is a driver still had stock pretty much everything but i could drive it around. so once i got some money together here came the fun part ripping old leafs out everyone out and building a crawler i got some i think they are 55" long springs for rear? with trail=gear about 8inchish long greasable shackles and had to reweld some spring hangers for them. for front of truck i have rear springs with an extra 2 long flexy leaves up front. i have everything i now need for crossover high steer power steering arms drag link tie rod ifs box mounting kit. my truck is on jack stands in front now i just hung the front springs with some 6in shackles tooi bought a knuckle service kit too for my axle while it was out from truck. i cut off all the extra brackets and will probably throw the knuckle service kit on it tomorrow havent been doing much like build up documentation. except for on my youtube channel. no lockers or anything yet and still stock gearing after front suspension and crossover steering is all done its time for dual cases tho  and i plan on useing this forum alot lol because theres always stuff people dont know
