Here's what I've been workin on lately...
This is "Stage One" for this truck; it is owned by my friend, Chris. He's Big94GMC on here...
Stage one consists of:
-Stock 4.3 for now
-Built 4l60e
-203/205 doubler with ORD triple stick
-HP60 front welded 4.10s for now
-60 rear 30spline detriot and 4.10s
-Rear spring over for now with some lift shackles
-Rear traction bars that will become the rear lower links later on
-Front 3link with panhard and Cherokee coils
-Full hydro steering
-Simple interior cage and Integra seats
-Cutting brakes
-Tubular bumpers and rockers
-38x12.5 SX's on recentered H1s
This is the first one of these trucks that I've done, and from what I've seen on other builds of these things is that they're all WAAYYYY too tall...so I'm tryin to keep it as low as possible...
If there's more, Im sure Chris will chime in...
Anyways, here's some of the pics...
Pulled it in and stripped the interior and put the rear under for a ride height so I could start on the front...
Then I did the wheels...
Then the front was stripped and the frame was cleaned...
Mocked up the front end...
Cut the fenders a little...
Wheel/Tire in place just for brainstorming...
Made the Upper link mount on the axle...
Then I started the track bar bracket on the axle side...
And the upper link mount on the frame side...
Frame side track bar bracket...
And built the track bar last night...
Ride height:
Full stuff:
Next up is makin the upper and lower coil buckets...
