Re: (Project) "Finders Keepers" 5.7 Vortec, SFBD
Werd....................when youmoved the cab mounts back, it wasn't too difficult was it? Since the mounts are round you don't really have to keep the pad at the angle it is in the front right?

Re: (Project) "Finders Keepers" 5.7 Vortec, SFBD
OK i gotta move my truck out of the shop where my "so called" friends was leting me work on it and use thier tools, because i helped build the frame i posted earlier in the thread. SOOOooo all day tomorrow i gota move all the peices to my dads house under the carport and work on it there. Means i have to buy a welder and crap also to finsh. I would stay there but they started rushing me and crap the 2nd week there and started acting funny. The guy i helped build his fullsize frame that always talks to me has not said hardly said anything to me in the past week. i was there today and he didnt even say "whats up" or "good morning" or anything. No one that knows me would even look me in the face. Makes me feel really uncomfortable. I figured a few days ago it was just a bad day. but its continued and im not dealing with it... the last thing i need is them telling me that they are gonna keep my truck untill i pay them or some shit like that. I swear, fukin haters man. I thought my friend would help me threw this. but instead hes just being a dick. sucks for me this just got exspensive.

Re: (Project) "Finders Keepers" 5.7 Vortec, SFBD
i dont know shit about setting up this link system. all i know is the bars need to be close to the same length possible. top bars need a 40 degree angle and set pinon at right hight.
i figured make a test one with hardwood broom handles and watch to see if its gonna work before i dish out the money for link bars that will be the right length' Edit: i hate welding with this flux cored shit... i need a bottle... Last edited by TuckaBlaze : 06-08-2008 at 06:54 PM. |
