pics !

i got owned by my front drive shaft couple days ago.. and yes i picked all of that up

that ledge is a good bit steeper than the pics let on to be.. that was NOT FUN since theres a ton of riverrock out there and the front driveshaft was stabbed into the ground. and took forever to dig out

Sweet truck. Thats pretty crazy you went up that hill, claypits right? If its those out there, those are pretty steep. We needa go weelin. Maybe in April sometime? The 19th(last sat) I had no money so I didnt put a post up.

yah thats out at the claypits.. I wont be able to go wheelin. im leaving for canada on thursday and dont know when i will be back.

I made to to the top of the ledge but then my clutch started to slip so i stopped and when i backed down i hit the brakes and my front end unloaded and the driveshaft slipped out

this was about 40mph to 0 in an instant

did you have to outboard your springs any at all? what about your brakes? how did you get the lines to hook up? Did you have to run a bigger master cylinder? I have a pair of fullwidths that i plan on running on my next project... I got a 44 frotn and a 14 bolt rear that im really havin fun thinkink about!

IronClad · « **Reply #6 on:** Mar 22, 2005, 03:05:14 PM »

i outboarded the front springs to center the axle up i think its a 34 1/2" outside to outisde. I upgraded to a corvette M/C ( 1 1/4" bore) and made a simple adapter plate out of a piece of 3/8ths plate. and put studs in for the chevy m/c and drilled holes for the toyota booster. For the lines i got some stainless steel braided lines from Bones on pirate and they hook right up to the toyota lines. but for the M/C i got adapters to go from the M/C to 3/16's and i reflared the hardline for them. works great

man thats a nice lookin rig!!!!!

IronClad · « **Reply #8 on:** Mar 31, 2005, 05:32:21 AM »

Well i blew the headgasket in it.. and mid repair i got bored so i decided to do a little hackin.. im not sure if im gonna finish repairing the engine.. i probably will and then sell it because i want to swap in a 350. but we'll see

i decided to inboard my rear springs and dovetail the bed. along with doing away with my drop shackles, im also moving my gas tank and building another traction bar to run on the other side due to my lovely axle wrap problems. And also remount my shocks in a more straight up in down fashion close together for good high speed dampening while not hurting flex when im crawlin

pics !!

tis all for now. i'll be back later with more when i get more done.

I would really like to see how you made the front inboard spring hanger. I plan on doing this soon also. What are the measurements?

IronClad · « **Reply #10 on:** Mar 31, 2005, 07:56:44 PM »

didnt take any measurements besides front to back i just stuck them on the inside edge of the frame and welded them on and did some triangle gussets.

alwayzbroken · « **Reply #11 on:** Mar 31, 2005, 08:02:07 PM »

Ok, do you have any pics you can post?

wheelinyotagirl · « **Reply #12 on:** Mar 31, 2005, 08:08:45 PM »

Not to shabby Matt

You gonna clean it up and make it look clean or u gonna leaeve it somewhat ruff and just say screw it?

IronClad · « **Reply #13 on:** Mar 31, 2005, 08:24:40 PM »

i'll get some pics tomarrow i dont have any right now

i'll clean it up a bit but not a whole lot.. since its no longer gonna be driven on the road and wont be smog legal with the 350 ( it could be but.. to much work)

wheelinyotagirl · « **Reply #14 on:** Mar 31, 2005, 08:46:08 PM »

Where'd you get the 350?

stone4x4 · « **Reply #15 on:** Apr 01, 2005, 05:41:09 AM »

how many times you broke that 10 bolt

IronClad · « **Reply #16 on:** Apr 01, 2005, 07:02:27 AM »

none. ive thought it has broke about 100 times now but it has laughed at it all. Hell i broke my conversion flange from Paradise driveline ( Jesse from high angle drivelines dad owns it ) for my 12 bolt before ive broken anything in my axles.

stone4x4 · « **Reply #17 on:** Apr 01, 2005, 08:26:38 PM »

WOW
and i run chromo in a d44 and break axles with yukon joints

Makohon · « **Reply #18 on:** Apr 02, 2005, 12:30:45 PM »

dude you cant do that to your bed!!!! u cant look cool like me

............. lookin good!! aint it so much better havin the bed like that?? it still looks good and you can actually see sooo much better and you hardly get body damage!!!! instead of a 350 swap be cool and build up a 22r or re and do a propane conversion on it and put a turbo in it!!! costs like 2 k... but keep up the work!!!!!

IronClad · « **Reply #19 on:** Apr 02, 2005, 12:41:34 PM »

haha your truck was actually my inspiration . I used to have a narrowed front clip and a dovetail tube bedish thing before the cab swap.

that was after i stuck a bed back on..

looked like this for a while

Right now it has a LC Engineering EFI Preformer Pro 22re in it. its a killer engine but i just want more power. Who knows i might not drop in a 350 and might stick with the 4banger.. but we'll see

redneck · « **Reply #20 on:** Apr 03, 2005, 04:28:33 PM »
