Re: 67 long box
changes in progress on last cross member, added 2"x 1.75" angle and 1" square tube as the bed stop. It seems I keep adding more work, why do I do this, passion for the build.

Re: 67 long box
had to cut down the gate hold bars, looks easy but to get the amount out each half so it folds back up is a little tricky.

Re: 67 long box
Nice work. I bet the build is on your mind day and night. Make sure you keep the gears oiled down because walking around with smoke coming out of your ears is never a good sight.

Re: 67 long box
Put another 250 lbs through the sand blaster and maybe another 200 tomorrow. That stuff gets into everything but does a nice job.

Re: 67 long box
Bought another 250lbs of blasting media and more glass shard media for my blast cabinet. Cut 14 pieces of 2" tube and made spacers for the bed raise. Welded a washer on both sides, blasted, painted. Blasted some other parts, painted as well.
I had a good day. Time for a pop. |

Re: 67 long box
I propose a challenge to you sir.
Fabricate your own upper tubular control arms with corrected ball joint geometry for a 2" drop spring. Will you accept this challenge? |
