Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
Those steering braces really take up some real estate, any news on the TC issue? Buddy of mine has been having some issues with TCI also.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
TCI shipped me a new TC and front seal on my dime. Then I have to return the one that has issues for warrenty. The biggest problem I have now is Summit Racing advertises the transmission to handle 575 horse power. TCI told me 350 max. So I'm going to put the tranny in and get the car home as it has been sitting at my nephews shop for 5 week swapping out the engine and trans. Based on how this engine ran it is the most radical engine I have had. it is so loud I don't think I will be able to drive it on the street with out getting a ticket and I have duel exhaust out past the rear bumper with magna flow mufflers X2. I might have to swap out the camshaft to tame it down. I should have the new TC end of the week and get the car drivable this week end.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
I took a couple of pictures of the front and rear axle looking down at the bump stops. my axles are forward of the bump stops about 1.5".

That's the meanest 318/390 I've ever heard, cool! Chassis looks like your ready for the crew cab to go on for the last time? Lucky Ducky!

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
After looking a little closer at your header issue the only difference i see is that i went with pacific fabs cross member and the motor mounts may set up a little higher.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
Yes that right. The DD mount I used set the engine about 1.5" lower and caused a lot of issue with headers.
