Re: Project: Recycle
Drumroll . . ..... the chassis for 'Recycle' officially touched mother earth tonight.
There's no air in the bags (no air-lines yet) & it only has shocks on the front, but @ full dump, the frame rail was 2.5" (F) & 3.0" (R) @ the cab mount centerlines w/stock spindles (15" wheel, 27" tall tire). The upper BJ's appear to be binding (or the tie-rods) because the bags are @ approx 4.5" & the shocks are still @ 12". I should have another 1-1.5" to go up front. I'm going to disconnect the TRE's tomorrow & see if there's a change. The rear was/is the limiting factor (as planned). It's bottomed out in the c-notch. I'm thinkin' it will look pretty decent & should drive low full time w/plenty of ground clearance (my objective vs. trying to lay frame). I couldn't get pics as it was too dark for pics & my cell just can't capture a good image (the shop is crowded so it's hard to get a decent view). I plan to put some schraders into place tomorrow & will roll it out in the sun for some pics......

Re: Project: Recycle
Dude, sleep is waaay over rated. You will have plenty of time to sleep when you have passed on to that big garage in the sky.
Meanwhile, that frame is kickin. I love the clean fresh look.... ![]()

Re: Project: Recycle
Beautiful chassis.
What did you use for washers under the heads of all the bolts? AN washers?

Re: Project: Recycle
That is just beautiful! I love the wheel/hub cap set up. I think that you had a 10" rear wheel made, what size tires did you use front/rear?
After reading your post about the front BJ binding, in the pictures it looks like your upper A-Arms are upside down, possibly swapped side to side (compared to other photos I have seen)? Am I missing something about that? Anyway, I am jealous of your progress... ![]()

Re: Project: Recycle
Thanks guys.
Lolife99, I used SS lock washers (the split-lock washers are readily available). This give more clamping force on the bolt/nut & keeps the end that turns off of the fresh PC/paint. I also used nyloc nuts everywhere except for the front shocks (not available in that particular sizing). All nuts/bolt for frame, brackets, & x-members is GRADE-8. The T/A mounts got GRADE-9. Aggie91, the a-arms are mounted different vs. typical set-ups. I tried them both ways & couldn't see any difference as far as functionality. The way I installed them just 'looked' cleaner. We also installed the BJ from the bottom of the arm (again, a cleaner look). My feeling is the binding is a result of absolutely no shims for the upper a-arms. Space them out .750" or so & I think I'll be fine. The tie-rods were definitely in bind..... As soon as I raised the suspension, I could easily adjust the toe; with it dumped, I couldn't get the adapter sleeve to budge. Rolling stock is 215-70-15's on 15x6's & 285-60-16's on 16x10's.

Re: Project: Recycle
Almost a shame to put the cab and bed on that, it's a rolling platform for your skills and abilities. Awesome

Re: Project: Recycle
Had them built & I would not recommend the place that did it (Stockton Wheel).

Re: Project: Recycle
Definitely the right wheel and tire combo for this truck. Frame looks great, definitely worth all the hassle. When is the body swap party? I'm in!
