Killer fab

[shrunken66stroker]

You've got the sickness as well. I'll keep an eye on this one.

[Mechanic77]

Yeah, I think it's contagious

[Dinos63]

Killer job!! Love the rear. Dang love the whole build !!

[thor]

Nice suspension!

[shrunken66stroker]

Any updates 77?

[Mechanic77]

I'm getting lazy...lol....I actually have gotten a fair amount done since the last post, just haven't taken the time to post up pictures....I'll try and get an update posted up tonight

[Mechanic77]

Alright, here's an update....

I finally got my wheels, they're Billet Specialties Street Lites...

17x9 front with 275/40R17 Sumitomo's

17x11 rear with 315/35R17 Sumitomo's


That allowed me to get it rolling so I could roll it outside and get some more pictures....

Aired all the way up

Aired all the way down

And a nice rear view showing the wheels and tires with it aired out

[Mechanic77]

Here's some pictures of my chassis bracing in the rear....

[Mechanic77]

....and in the middle, also showing my transmission crossmember

[Mechanic77]

Here's some closer pictures of the front suspension nearly completed....I still need to mount the brake hose brackets yet





...and at ride height (roughly)


As always, if you have any questions, just ask

[Pop's C-10]

Thanks, the swaybars are Speedway Engineering bars that I got from HRPworld.com....they were the only place I could find them online and their prices are pretty friendly too

Lol...I would if I thought I could make 17x11's fit on the front I'm already going to have to put steering stops on the front to keep the tires from rubbing on the front shocks

[redneck6]

wow just wow awsome build keep up the good work . what size DOM are your lowers made out of and did you have to bend them ? , what is traling arms made out of ? fantasitc build .

[Mechanic77]

Thanks redneck6....the upper and lower arms are made out of 1 1/4" .125" wall DOM and there is just a slight bend in the rear tube on the lower control arms to allow clearance for the air bags....and the lower balljoint plate is bent roughly 10* up to keep the balljoint from binding when aired fully up....and the rear trailing arms are made out of 2"x3" .125" wall rectangular tubing with a 2 1/2" drop built into them

[shortbed70]

Do you have any info on the full part number for the front sway bar or did you have to piece it togather

I don't have a full part # because I pieced them together...bought the bar, arms and rod ends all separate. Like I posted earlier they are Speedway engineering bars and arms that I bought from HRPworld.com....bought the rod ends from Speedwaymotors...
