Guess it is time I started a build thread. So here it goes. My goals are to use my '72 frame as a base. Build it long and low with 1 ton drivetrain. Got to have big tires and big HP. I plan on using as much of the exterior sheet metal as possible, but going to fab the interior panels all with Zeus fasteners for easy access.
I started stripping off the front sheet metal. I have the front axle mocked at about where it will reside and close to ride height. Next I will need to pull the motor/tranny/transfercase and remove the tub. Also on the list is to clean the spring buckets and the shock towers from frame. Got to pick up a couple of sticks of tubing to rebuild the front X member and build a tranny mount/lower link mount.
