Look what came in today!



Front end suspension rebuild kit
Quick ratio power steering box
Upgraded sway bar
Front / Rear Coil Springs
Front disc conversion parts
Front / Rear KYB shocks

...and still waiting for

Lower control arms
Stainless under-bed fuel tank

Once I get the tank fitted, the frame and associated parts are off to the powder coater. Then the fun starts!

Re: Look what came in today!

Lol! I took the picture first Opened them up to see what was there and then closed them. Wanted to leave it in the boxes to ease in transport to the garage. I knew if I started taking stuff out in the living room, the wife would be less than excited. She did move it all from the front porch though so I guess there's that.

Re: Look what came in today!

I agree. I always open and inspect 1st to make sure parts are correct and all there. Its a bad habit to just keep putting boxes in the corner on projects and then find out a year down the road that the box is labeled correct but the parts are wrong and not returnable.
