SANFORD build thread
here is my current project,wife and son gave it the nickname,I will try to get caught up on pics.this is when I bought it.I had no intentions of doing any thing with it but use it for parts.I thought at some point I would have done another stepside but when I started looking on this site I saw the gasser influenced truck that Hardwaa built and it really messed me up,I love the look of that truck.Mine will be similar.Thanks for looking and I will try to keep things updated as I go.

Re: SANFORD build thread
I decided to use this bed as the original had rust along the factory seam.I cut this one down to make a short bed.I know there is a little difference on the wheel opening but I will address that later once I can see it on the ground.

Re: SANFORD build thread
this is the the rearend setup.got the notches finished,I cut 6 1/2 inches out of the rearend to get the tire clearance I wanted.I still have to mount the lower air bag mounts once I figure out what pinion angle I need.

Re: SANFORD build thread
I agree, very nice work
 So it looks like you retained the stock housing ends when you narrowed the differential housing? Did you have shorter C-clip axles made?

Re: SANFORD build thread
Thanks guys for the replies,I did re-use the stock housing ends.I cut and re-welded my stock axles to use during mock-up of all my parts.Once I have everything finalized I will order a set of c-clip axles from Moser.Thanks.

Re: SANFORD build thread
hemifalcon, The wheels were on an old frame when I got it,I think they are a standard chevy 5 lug wheel. They measure 15x8 with a 3.750 backspace. The caps I got at a swap meet, I think they are for a first Gen camaro or Nova of that year. I have a set of American Racing TTO's ordered but they have not gotten here yet.

Re: SANFORD build thread
Nice fab work
What are the specs on those rear tires and wheels? The tires look to be good sized.

Re: SANFORD build thread
Just a quick update,I got the new wheels on the rear,also fininished the front control arms and was able to air up the front bags.I set the motor and trans in,I have some clearance issues with the rack but that is not surprising.I think I will get the cab installed then I can get the motor and trans mounts made.I also finished the rear panhard bar.I still have to get R & P attached to the spindles.I think once i get the engine mounts made I will start on the headers and exhaust.Thanks for looking.
