Re: Guess what's wrong in this picture....

I think they are u-bolts. Really really long u-bolts. Look at the auction and you will see the rear is setup just like the front with the *Welded* blocks.

What I can see in the pic is the obvious welded block, brake line not bolted up, lower shock doesn't look to be bolted up either. Still the goober's got some attention to detail by bolting the sway bar back up and leaving the axle vent in place as a limiting strap. I'm not sure what the flat plate is on the right side near the pumpkin.

What I wish we could see is the steering setup.. I'm sure there is some really nice backwoods fab going on there because a stock draglink wouldn't even come close to reaching...

As cheap as it is to lift one of these trucks it makes you wonder why people even think of crap like this.

I'm on the lookout of one locally that Dirty Larry saw a week or so ago. Mid-80's fullsize bronco with double stacked frames for a lift...That POS is on the street since he saw it at a local grocery store gas station.

Re: Guess what's wrong in this picture....

This vehicle is being sold for parts only and is not operational or street legal. Therefore, upon purchase, it will need to be either towed or trailered. eBay encourages its members to learn about their state laws governing vehicle sales prior to the sale or purchase of a vehicle.”
He probably found out about the above statement when he drove it to the inspection station.
