Re: My new toy

Well I got the shackle flip built, a set of 56" springs in the rear, and the 14FF rear end in this weekend. Here is a pic with some 305s (33s) on 16x8 rims on the rear.

Re: My new toy

Looks like you need some ORD Zero Rates in the reare to center the axle back up. Lookin good though.

Re: My new toy

Your progress is putting me to shame. I've been trying to get my K5 on the road off and on for way too long. Your K5 is looking great.

Re: My new toy

Engine runs but I need to put a seal kit in the carb, it leaks out the accelorator pump. The rear end is pretty close to center looking at it straight on but that fang in the front of the fender makes it really look forward. Plan is to trim that fang off to equal the rear of the fender. I have some zero rates but I am gonna put in the front to level it off and move the front end forward. The front shaft was completely compressed before the lift and after the front lift it is still compressed and the axle went down and back some so use the add-a-leaf to level and move ahead to get the driveshaft some inward slip (what a run on sentence...). I need to find a 1350 yoke for the rear output on the 205 so I don't have to run any hybrid u-joints and find a way to lengthen the e-brake cables or just go to disks but I kinda want ebrake on this rig.

Re: My new toy

I wish I could get that lucky (trade my top for a half top).
I hope you don't ever want to replace the half top.
