WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #54 on:** Mar 23, 2005, 01:38:44 PM »

LOL That 2am gotta get this pos on the road set of spring mounts got ya home though.

But ya gotta love the cut and welded pitman arm

The front mounts that were on the truck fell apart when I removed the front springs is that bad?

Skinny_Pedal · « **Reply #55 on:** Mar 23, 2005, 08:27:31 PM »

your 2am setup is fine. it will come off easy. its all the other stuff on there that is going to be a biatch. yeah that welded pitman arm is beautiful

Skinny_Pedal · « **Reply #56 on:** Mar 27, 2005, 08:48:27 PM »

well my teacher and i have been talking and we have decided that were going to do a frame swap. this frame has been to hacked and has holes in it. so a good untouched frame is whats going under it. and luck have it i found a 83 shortbed frame for $100. gonna get that saturday

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #57 on:** Mar 28, 2005, 01:21:40 AM »

Thats a good idea. Its not really all that hard to do either. While your swapping you can go ahead and move the gas tank at the same time. If you upgrade to a later year of tank you'll not only get a higher capacity but it fits between the framerails perfectly.

Skinny_Pedal · « **Reply #58 on:** Mar 28, 2005, 07:44:43 PM »

like an efi tank?

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #59 on:** Mar 29, 2005, 01:44:56 AM »

That could work if ya needed it to. But a carbed 84+ tank will work the best. I jsut so happen to have one here. If you can figure out how to get it there its yours.
