Have some of those aliens that crashed there years ago help you out. The project will go much faster. ("faster",...whether it's time to completion or down the road will be determined by them of course.

Should be a pretty killer looking truck when it's done do you have the cab and bed or just the rollling chassis and front clip...

I have a 72 a/c cab with one spot of rust on the lower right rocker panel and I found a virtually perfect bed in Texas that I need to go pick up next week.

PTS,
Have you ordered the Baer Brakes, I am thinking of getting a set of them myself and was wondering about the price and which style you were going with.

I have not ordered the brakes yet. Beware which kit you will choose due to the caliper hanging out further than the flat mounting surface on the wheel. It will take a special wheel with a special built pad to clear, therfore; adding lots of costs and a headache if you already have your wheels. The only way to get around the problem if you have wheels is to order the right kit or run a spacer hence increasing pad depth hence changing your backspace which could be a major factor if your truck is lowered. If you have any questions, please let me know. You can also vist Baers site for info. Baer's information you need is referred to as a template.

Fitting the new ECE trailing arm cross member. I also welded a x-brace so that I can transport frame to sand blaster. Frame is currently square within 0.25"
Also is a pic of the 72 posi rearend that has been hot tanked, sand blasted, and new Richmond 3:73 gears and rebuild kit installed. |

Is that also the ECE trans crossmember installed? How low are you going to go? Are you going to c-notch it? Progress looks great so far. Can't wait until I can get started on my truck again.

Yes that is the ECE trans crossmember. I am planning to go a 4 and 6 drop but that will be based on primarily tire diameter(s). To me c-notching a frame is for a truck that is on air with one more problem. When going that low you would have to raise or remove the bed above the pumpkin. Not for me but I have been known to do weird stuff. I guess you would say that I am indecisive sometimes but these trucks will do that to you especially after viewing all the current trends.
