Not the best job, but it was a massive battle and several trips to local dirt track store.

It looks good, that's for sure. Looks like your hard work is paying off!

Brake likes done. New u-bolts ( from local big truck store). Frame notched for Ford shock towers, need to get drive shaft lengthened 4".

Going to get shock towers sand blasted, then hopefully weld them in tomorrow.

I know it. It's always the first question "does it have leafs in the back"?

Got a quick chance to sweep up the garage (tight space with one outlet)... so snapped a few more. Driveshaft should be back tomorrow.

Looks like it's really coming together!

I'm happy with the product. The wait sucked, but having issues with my Dana 44.

I was afraid to weld these, so sourced them out for $30

 

[Chris]

For that price they can't be making much of a profit on them anyways.
