Re: Daverods 52

Filled a bunch of holes. Welded a bunch of cracks in my fenders. Stripped one front fender and painted it to look like the other old one. Turned out better than I hoped. Not done yet.

Re: Daverods 52

Got my bags and cups. Have no idea what the brackets/otherthings are for? Picked up a radiator. I'm thinkiing I'll need to get the outlet on the bottom rewelded to make it come out straight. Mounted my front cab mounts to my cab need to weld a piece of metal across the back suport before I can mount the rear one. Gave the ok on getting my engine work done. Still need a trans. I have a 350 and a 400 but I'm thinking a 700 would get better gas milage. Maybe a 2 for one deal.

Re: Daverods 52

Thanks Jeff. I did notice the back cap measurments should be 3.5 x 4. Nothing a cutting wheel could'nt handle. They worked great.

Re: Daverods 52

They are for relocating your shocks. But on our suspension you might not need them. It would depend on how much your going to drop it.

Re: Daverods 52

thanks Dennis. I'll have to take a better look tonight. Both the brackets and the wing nut lookin things are for the shocks?

Re: Daverods 52

the original shocks were inside the springs.
obviously they dont fit there when you put airsprings in their place.
so the shock is relocated to the outside edge of the control arm.
the long part goes onto the frame and the top of the shock bolts to it.
im not postitive on the "wingnut wings", but they look kinda like the lower shock mount with bushings. i wouldnt be surprised if they fit inside the stock lower arm for bracing... you wouldnt use them in that case.. you also wouldnt use the lower cups.

as far as the shock mounts, I would look carefully at both the shock clearing the frame under travel, and the tire clearing the shock when turned at lock. if you're running larger wheels, you may want to recess the shock into the frame slightly so you dont lose turning clearance.

Re: Daverods 52

On these trucks the shocks are mounted outside of the springs.

Re: Daverods 52

oddly enough though, where the shock meets the LCA on that pic is very similar to how you would be mounting it to the S10 arm.

Re: Daverods 52

I'm thinking the wing nut things might weld on to the arms.

Re: Daverods 52

yeah it might just weld to it. what I've seen some people do is either bolt the stud or weld it to the lca.

You still not get your rear kit yet? I've been messing with my rear bars, but I'm need to know where the bag sits on yours.

About to update pics of my truck.

Re: Daverods 52

I used to drill a hole in the lower arm, and weld a plate to reinforce where the bolt goes through. Even if the special shock bolt is welded in, it will crack the metal on the arm around the bolt.
BTW Thanks Dave. Why are you being so nice??? What do you want??

Re: Daverods 52

Couple hours a day, 4 to 6 on the weekends. I run into a lot of dead ends and stuff that I'm not sure about so I jump around a lot. Anything to stay away from the bodywork and sanding. I have been getting some more parts ready to paint though.

I heard this stuff works wonders. You need to eat the whole box to get started then about a half a box a day after that.
