i would love to have it but dont have the fab skills to build the front the way i want to (coils) if i did it i would be easy (leafspung) plus i dont have any money

man, I haven't touched the truck in a couple days.Really wanting to go do something-wife aint feeling good today. cant wait to get out there later tonight...finish up the other rocker. gonna order those chromos next week too,Chuck

[blazinchuck]

well, I was able to finally fit the axle for good. Got the radius mounts fully welded in and gonna work on a patch for the center section tomorrow. Should have the driver rock slider and axle complete this weekend. Sold the doors off it today on ebay...now to get the steering and chromos ordered.Chuck

Chuck - Any progress on the full widths since your last post?

[blazinchuck]

progress has been real slow. I've been putting some money together for the large ticket items...should be getting a set of 38"TSL's here next weekend, also trying my best to score a set of Galen 2-peice doors and 1-piece inserts from a guy in NC. That's gonna almost whipe me out. Bryan's getting my tires, so next I will try to get the chromos...should be down hill from there,Chuck

ok here's the dealio...I wont be able to make my planned trip to river rock on the 27th So I will instead haul Scott's k5 down there so he can feel better about wheeling it harder :twisted: I ran into some problems with the headers...my long tubes wont work, also the free shorties(from mustang) wont work either. Guess it's back to manifolds or save more funds for custom bronco headers. I was able to set up the new 4.56 gears in the front. Axle is back in the front w/coils...but no steering,knuckles,brakes,etc. Might take another month, then we go to the Gulches and river rock AGAIN! Ya'll get your stuff ready, I am...and Gulches are gonna happen here soon! Chuck

I've heard someone else say that the Mustang shortys would hit the frame on the passenger side. Wonder if these would work? I believe it would probably be worse that the stang headers. I think the pass needs to point straight back, instead of down.

[blazinchuck]

those look like they would be worst on the pass...even the driver side if ya had stick shift. Not sure what I will do,Chuck
