It is all good.

No game plan at all right now. Gotta replace the outside unit of my central heat and air at home. That, kinda jacks up a lot of stuff. No idea when I could even get it in my dads shop right now to start getting the cross member on it. I keep getting the... oh few more things on my car first... response.

Covert opps would have already taken place to get it to my house, if I had suspension under it lol.

I think mac said he had a stock front axle. Maybe I can borrow it long enough to move it.

Re: AD Truck Project
 
:lol: yeah it makes it hard to move when it doesnt roll..

Re: AD Truck Project

I owe Scott bbq before I can ask him to do any work lol.

Re: AD Truck Project
 
yeah that was a killer. i still owe you a steak haha. billy let me know if you need a hand with anything moving or anything. i have an old 9 inch ford rear end that rolls maybe we could tack weld it good enough in place to at least make a roller.

bjcaldwe 06-04-2010 05:41 PM

Re: AD Truck Project
 
I was kinda thinking about doing something like that. I have the s10 rear end I could use out back, and then somehow out a rearend up front, just good enough for it roll.

Another option is we have a front crossmember out from under a 51ish chevy car that we could maybe tack or chain to the front of the frame.

I have a 10 bolt chevy rear end if you need something to make it roll.

Re: AD Truck Project
 
I am tired of things setting me back on this truck, so I managed to get the rearend in my truck and taking it down to my folks. Who says a lowered truck can function as a real truck lol. Not sure If I can get it under the truck this weekend, but at least it is something small I can mark off the list. A bunch of small things eventually equal some real progess.... um right? :uhmk:

don't get discouraged, I have been there. you just need to get a few things accomplished and it will get the ball rolling.
Have you heard the saying.

A lowered truck just makes it easier to load. :lol:

Little things here and there still get it done. :metal:

How about some pictures eh? And yes progress is progress!

bjcaldwe 06-07-2010 12:44 AM

Re: AD Truck Project
 
I have two pics to post tomorrow, nothing special. The rearend is under it good enough to move it. The 52 car crossmember idea will not work, it is too narrow. I am going to try and find a stock front end I can borrow long enough to move it.

Temporary placement. When we work on it for real, it will be centered properly.
