Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd

![]() ![]() Thank you sir! I have to weld a small piece on the driver side and put some more tacks on it before it's done. Hope to get that done this weekend!

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
I'm baaack!!! Have been working a lot and just have not had the time to post! My company called me back after being off just one week and I have been working ever since. July 23 is my supposed last day now.
![]() ![]() Just enough to fit the c-notches in! It felt good seeing it sitting on the frame. Even while still sitting on the jacks I was happy to see wheels tuckin!! I should have pulled the wheel wells out first, but you know how it is when you get excited about something. ![]()

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
Since it was a large step I took a few extra pics.
This is the first pic of it layed out almost at zero pressure. This is lifted to almost max. This is a problem, it's not low enough!!! The heads on the bolts that hold in the trailing arm crossmember make the body and frame "teeter" front to back so this will have to be addressed. Limbo contests are gonna be fun with this thing!! Added a fender to check clearance, everything looks good after cutting out for the Slosh Tubz, doesn't look like I'll have to cut into the firewall but things change.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
Looks great!
What size (diameter) wheel/tire combo will you be running when it's finished? This will dictate how low it goes.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
Weld the bottom of that crossmember then you won't have the bolt heads to deal with. Honestly how often do you plan to remove it? But if you do decide to remove it you only have a few welds to cut.

![]() I was planning on welding it, just really surprised that it made it sit that far off the ground with the body on. I do not have the body mounts in yet so we'll see how that effects it. Next is body mounts and measurements for all the stuff that will be hidden.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
Body mounts will probably raise it 3/4" or so.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
I figure there is a happy medium between layin the frame, wheel size, and pinch weld removal. I will be Zen when these three things come together.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
Yeah body drop kit is in, still have to buy the cushions. I'm missing a few items but Travis is working on it. Having flooring put in the house this week so no truck work will happen during my week off at home, but that's ok since the wife is happy.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
Thanks Mike! Plenty to do this weekend so I should have a few more pics next week.
Absolutely! Body is coming back off at the end of the weekend most likely and welding up that crossmember!

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
I am steadily making progress each week! The pics do not show much progress, but it actually was a lot of progress. Only had a day and a half to get this all done so I was happy. These pics are all that I took, but I did spray both sides of the tub with rattle can primer. I hope to have an announcement about the project soon.....so stay tuned!!!
Paint is gone off the dash. I fabbed up a filler panel and filled in the windshield pillar, still gotta weld in the other side. Made some fillers for the taillights as well. Bare metal shows all, found a patch at the front of the tub on both sides and the quarter panel on the driver side will need to be replaced. There was a gallon of bondo on that quarter panel!!! ![]()
