Im exited!

I ordered the full front 2.5" drop spindles and disk brake conversion kit for my 61. SIX LUG of course! Came to 689.90 shipped. Next on the list will be the stuff to bag the front.

So a few questions.
My lower A-arms are open, being its a torsion bar truck.
So I figured I would just weld in a plate on the bottom with a cup for the bag. I would bolt in the upper bag mount of course. My question is how thick of plate should I use for the a-arm? Also I was wondering about the placement for the upper bag mount but I should probably wait until I get the parts.

Re: Im exited!

Finally got the garage cleaned out and the truck in there. Now the hard part waiting for parts to show up.
My garage is tiny one way and small the other way, theres just enough room to work on the truck. but at least its out of the weather now. Progress will be slow as much as my job keeps me busy. I will take pics and post progress as it goes.

It was indeed a joke, hence the wink. But it's all good. I'll go check the pressure in my head, wipe my asshat, and pray that my unborn kids don't look like unicorns.

I'm not going to resort to childish name calling and hissy fits. You may have a 20 gallon bladder and mine may only be 6oz, but we'll never find out because I don't get involved in internet pissing contests. You win, cheers and happy birthday to the !
