Great work man!! I'd love to build a truck on bags someday, but I couldn't afford another build.

Re: my build thread
I was building a watts link for my 88 yesterday and mocked it up on the 60 because it was easier, and I decided it needed one too. Stuck it on there today and mocked up the links with string.

Re: my build thread
It acts like a panhard bar but keeps the rear end centered instead of pushing it one way.

Re: my build thread
set the bed on there today so i can start planning mounts... waited a long time to see this...
Ran into a problem with the axle width tho...The tires rub at the body line after I trimmed all the inner bed away... Not sure what to do...

Re: my build thread
well ive decided for a new rebuild... i decided i wont be happy until i build a whole new tube frame. I want something completely custom and to get rid of the factory crossmember. I want to do new tube lowers to match my uppers and maybe be able to move my rack to be able to set my motor a bit further. Also going with 3/16 wall tube this time to make things a littler more heavy duty because I want to have the option to tow a trailer. It will still have the 2'' body drop and 3'' Z built in. Maybe a bigger notch in the back for the option to go lower over bigger wheels.
