Sorry for some of the delay guys but to no further avail... hers an update....


As always guys.... the computer measuring tape never lies.....

Clutch Master Cylinder Mounting....

Enjoy


The 3D Solidworks Virtual Model....



Reality......



4 Link that is currently being constructed.....

DOM Tubing: 1/4" Wall Thickness
Bushing Union Thread Size: 1-1/8" -12 UNF
These are big HD 4 Link Boys
Ordered up another 2 HE-8" air bags as well.



Doing mock air bag mounting and 4 Link Design Work......








Cleaning a few things up.... and dug into the rear end....everything looked good but there was definately a lack of love for the rear end.... lotsa grime and dirt........ some metal but all the teeth showed no scaring or excessive/abnormal wear.....

i was pretty happy how the rear end actually looked.


Enjoy

BEFORE:






All cleaned up






Enjoy...

wow this build is awesome...I havent seen anything this sweet for awhile. I love old trucks and diesels. I just got a question on what kind of exhaust you were running. It looked like a single stack but I was wondering if it was a single or dual stacks?

Again awesome build
