front still doesn't lay due to i still run my inner fenders. but it'll go soon.
figuring out the brackets on the axle was a bitch, but they are all tacked. tomorrow i'll finish welding them up, than try to figure my pinion.
Yeah i know there are plenty of threads on here that will tell you how to set the pinion, if i remember correctly, all u need is an angle finder from the local hardware store and just set it up at +/- 5* at ride height.
Looks great man, I've been following the thread, just haven't posted since I don't have much to add to what's been said already.
I know this doesn't usually end up happening on bagged trucks, but it can. The top example in this picture is actually bad for the u joints. There is no operating angles so they're not moving like they're supposed to, to lubricate the needle bearings properly.
no new pics. just been cleaning the frame and rearend. got the rearend welded up and painted last night. backhalfs all torn down for powdercoat and paint. hopefully be back together tomorrow or saturday. doubt i'll get to the plumbing yet. still don't know where the airtank is going.
Great work man.. your welds look perfect! Digging that plate crossmember between the notch. Look forward to how you set up your bed. Such a shame to hide that work under there.
it's called "black chrome"
i thought it would be blacker?
more of a charcoal gray, but i still think it looks really sweet.
got the mounts for my rear bed bolts on
all primered up
my axle is welded up, painted, bushings and grease fittings installed, and lsoh's rear disc's on. anybody else with these brakes? my brake hose is pressed against my housing pretty hard. wasn't sure if that was normal.
went a little overkill on the paint for the rearend. whole lot of buildup and runs. **** it, rust preventative right??
