Finaly got some time to draw up some parts to get lasered, lower link mounts i remade out of 1/4 instead of 3/16 like i had, just to be on the safe side.. Made some brake caliper brackets for my rear disc conversion, and also got the ball joint brackets lasered as well hopefully the upper A-arms will be done this weekend

So we have to move out of this shop, which sucks, because moving a project from one place to another isnt fun at all, let alone the rest of the stuff i have in there, butttt, it gives me motivation to get things rolling :)

cross drilled brake rotors , new bearings obviously cleaned up the spindles etc..

rears all set now, got the timken set20 breaing/seal set. we will see how those work out, its a pretty rediculous bearing set up. $40 a bearing >:(, fitted the lasered brackets and kept it simple with c10 front calipers

and of coarse the poser shot, i like the 20's more and more every time i do something new to the truck and have to add them to the picture


As for some new updates, i flew out to Sema last week, and had me thinking of drafting a 69c10 dash into my truck, kinda switch it up a little

The other shop will have 3 phase and an air conditioned office, is closer to home and is in between home and work, which is perfect, plus the place im with now doesnt let you keep a car outside overnight and the new place has windows!

tonight after a 12 hour grueling school day i made it to the shop and got the front end ready for the upper A-arms, rear bags and it will be a roller!

I finish welded the whole 4-link


and got the other lower control arm and spindle mocked up


the uper arms are almost done, im so pumped :)

ya im pumped for you this truck is awsome, i cant say it enough, i love everything youve do to it, this new place sounds great i wish i could find something like that around my house and a buddy or two to split the rent with, i mean i have a grage to use but it has no eletric, so i have to run extension cords from the inlaws house to the grage and it dosent have a concrete floor or heat, so i can only work seasonly so it sucks otherwise id prob be alot futher along with my truck, but keep up the awsome work and cant wait to see more. 8)

Yes, lasered them out of 1/4, were moving from wallingford to industrial park road in middletown/cromwell



Figured out my lower arms will work till next winter or some other time to make them, so i need a new front driver lower control arm since i smashed it when i hit a tire and rim on the highway a while back

fount out my bags wont lift it enough for my ride hight, so i purchased a set of "slammed specialties" AKA firestone re8 bags that will give me 9 inches of lift, instead of 6

I had RE8's on a big block dually a few years back, lifted gloriously. That is a pretty mega bag for a small block though, you probably could of gotten away with the RE7.
