Re: project 86
Not so far had a shop build it. It has a Detroit locker with 3.73 gears. Thanks again for helping me out with that

Re: project 86
Have the rear diff painted. It would be finished but the axle bearing and seals need to be replaced, and a recent vasectomy is definitely slowing me down

Re: project 86
Got the rear installed. And got a quick look at what the truck will look like height wise. Also getting cursed by my cousin for letting my work area turn into a storage.

Re: project 86
Trying to see what it will look like once I reinstall the fuel cell. So by my measurement the way my rear is setup I'll have 4 inches of ground clearance aired out. little close, but meh.

Re: project 86
Made a slight measuring mistake but oh well. Instead if 4 inches aired out the tank will be 3 1/4 inches from the ground
