well we had to make an adjustment on these upper control arms (first pic you can see how the wheels are cambered out at the top , (see pic 2 no adjustment ) so we shortened them an inch... I bought these from another board member a few years back not sure why they were to long maybe they were for a different application ..... so I P- coated them ( HOME CHROME ) after we finished............ ill get them back together tomorrow and update ....

[zicc1835]

success ....need more shims to finish prelim alignment....second picture is old shot showing how far out the top alignment is out with no adjustment before the fab work....baffled by the ....why... I have to think someone sold me their problem and pleased that I could modify them to make it work ....oh well buyer beware....

I’m thinking that you might have jumped the gun a little on the alignment, as you still have a LOT of weight to add before you’re ready to do that. But it did look like the original arms were a bit long.

Thanks for all the detailed pics of the frame. I've had mine apart soo long i forgot how the idler arm attached. I ordered all new parts and i took them out of the box and said why didn't i buy an idler arm. Turns out what i thought was the pitman arm was the idler arm didn't know you had to reuse the frame brace. Your frame is bootifull nice work.

I have made some ovens look at post 103 for long parts ....I was fortunate to find this double wall oven on Offer-UP for 95.00 because the lower oven was missing the outer glass which by the way dose not effect its operation....they are easy to make with ...elements and metal cabinets if you can round up all the materials to wire and insulate to regulate the temp ....you only need to keep a consistent 400 degrees for about 20 minutes to bake...if you go on the internet you can find how others have built ovens....good luck its lots of fun and relatively inexpensive

Great!!!

You're doing a great job on your truck and your enjoyment is contagious. I think that helps when frustrations like your control arms show up. I also think it's why people like Bob are willing to pass along a treasure like that wagon to you. Not saying you didn't pay him well for it, but that thing's amazing.
