actually im gonna re do the exhaust and re run it up higher so it can tuck between the frame rails right now is not attach to the headers is just hanging there

i also tacked welded the 4 link that way i can let the back down but the driveshaft crossmember was holding me up so i had to notch it and re enforce it to make more steady........

Very nice build thread! Going to keep watching this one for sure!

I ordered my dropmember from Nate yesterday afternoon, its going to be a long 2 weeks for me!

My wife and I had a similiar conversation and she politely said that she needed my 40 hour check to pay the bills, so I started working an 1-2hrs over each day to fund my project!

today i got the 4 link all welded in place and i adjusted the pinion angle at ride height that way i could weld my panhard bar in place and i also tacked welded the lower bag brackets so i can mount the bags....

[luifer76]

i also took off the 4 link bars and the panhard bar so i can put i coat of silver paint on them while i put i coat of black paint on the frame and after they were dry i put them back on here are some pics....

[luifer76]

tomorrow im gonna be working on building the frame to raise the bed floor so i went to buy some 2x2 tubing and i precut them allready so all i have to do is measure really good and weld them in place....
