note his pricing and options at the bottom. overally, very reasonable - that is a bit of a tougher install, but ... prices are very reasonable. you could seriously use that general concept as a business idea for yourself.

68 short step · 08-07-2007, 09:57 PM

killer71 · 08-07-2007, 10:02 PM

Is that 4 sale sign intended for your estate or Killer?

gringoloco · 08-07-2007, 10:06 PM

no, we want the e-brake functional... the exhaust would interfer with the cable.... also at first we didnt plan on doing a drop, now we are.......

oscareltemblo · 08-07-2007, 11:30 PM

Everything looks nice .... EYE Candy.

68 short step · 08-08-2007, 10:26 PM

started assembling the frame today...majority of the day i spend cleanig steering parts and cleaning/ sanding brake lines... the new rear ECE trailing arms are SWEET, they are totally boxed and are a heavy guage, i know this cause they are HEAVYYYYY..... installed front x-member, trailing arms, fuel lines, brake lines... also brought over a buddy of mine to lend his hand on the cab...

killer71 · 08-08-2007, 10:30 PM

Nice work don...i was hoping for some updates! While i'm thinkin about it...what differential fluid will you be using?

68 short step · 08-08-2007, 10:56 PM

80/90 castrol, do you have a preference?

Ackattack · 08-09-2007, 01:00 AM

The powdercoating looks great!

I read the entire thread for about the 3rd time looking for this, so forgive me if its been answered.

Where did you get the engine stands, mounts, and adapters from?

Spanky_Pete · 08-09-2007, 12:34 PM

Fantastic progress on this build, as usual. I am quite envious of how that frame looks.

BACKYARD88 · 08-09-2007, 02:47 PM
