Walla Walla? Wasn't that the name of the town that a salesman character in an old Loonie Tunes cartoon came from? (handy-dandy vacuum cleaners?)

beefshreadder116 · 02-28-2009, 09:11 PM

finally got pics

beefshreadder116 · 02-28-2009, 09:21 PM

Im putting the 61 on a 65 frame ill gets pics up of my frame this next week, all i had to do was move the body mounts in the front of the cab inward.

yes walla walla is famous for onions, wine, and the wash. state pennitentary and the band Offspring wrote a song about us.

beefshreadder116 · 04-23-2009, 09:33 PM

ripped my front springs out to set my steering at slammed heigth. i am planning on mounting my tie rod ends on the under side of my spindles instead of on top like factory.

my spindles were really cheap and i got what i paid for because i have to use grade 8 washers to shim to my ball joints and the tie rod holes are way smaller,i need to enlarge them anyway, but they are way lighter than stock. im also planning on a 2 inch Z in the front i think my stock steering should clear once i flip it. i just hope 17" wheels will clear the tie rod ends.

if u guys see anything wrong with this set up please let me know its gonna be a while till i can scrape up the doe for my bags.
thanks nick

also the bottom pic is of the bushings im planning to use in my rear 3 link they measure out just wider than 2". im planning on using 2x2 square tube for the lower control arms.

joe231 · 02-28-2009, 09:15 PM
