LFD's low buck truck build!

So you are running leafs and bags? Without trailing arms to multiply travel it seems like those would be a bit stiff back there? Is this how it's done to just use them as "helper"' bags? Nice fab as always!

Yes they are 3/16" and I have a 45ton Iron worker for shearing, breaking, punching and pressing.

It is a leaf spring truck and the bags will be empty untill the trailer is hooked up (my extra leverage) just to level things back out. I think it will ride just fine and may even get a pound or two in the bags for normal travel. I removed the over load spring and I installed a 25gal tank in the back so I feel I added alot of weight off the rear of the axel.

We will find out in a week or two I hope

Well no real progress in the last week or so because I am finishing up the paint on Lemon Drop then I will get this back together and on the road for now. I came home today and found a few freebee's from fellow board member cpracing1 . He like the bed chop and found it usefull for his conversion and wanted to donate somthing back. They are 15x8's for the rear and 15x7's for up front When I get around to paint they will go the green of the upper and lower body color with some thin trim rings. He also sent me some other parts but that will be a surprise once they get grafted into this project!

Good pickup on the wheels. I just went with the same setup on Ol' Blue.
