The upper link is mounted with a bracket that is welded on to the lower.

Yes, the front and rear are 2003 F-350 axles.

 

no, hows it attached to AXLE TUBE?

 

Oh, my bad Skip!LOL

These right here did the trick
Flat Bottom Radius Arm / Coil Mounts

Used some Ballistic Bushings in there, works beautifully!

 

did you just use a arc welder or what? im going to weld mine with arc. hope it holds!

 

Did mine with my Lincoln MIG set up.

You will need to preheat the axle before welding to it or it may not get hot enough to penetrate.
I used an oxy-acetylene rig, the welds are still pretty ugly but they have good penetration.

 

Good penetration is a must in welding and "other" things.

 

I got the drag link built, I still have to paint it but the angles are spot on.



Also picked a cam and timing set. I went boring with a flat tappet Comp Cam CL32-208 and a double roller timing set. Ordered them on Tuesday and they arrived yesterday!

 

Finally settled on a gauge set, New Vintage Performance Series.



Just have to decide how I want to modify the dash to fit them.

 

Those are nice. I might use a piece of sheetmetal and put those in my 79 Bronco.

 

I think I am going to use some heavy gauge sheet metal to mount them in.
I should be able to shape close enough to mount in place of the factory cluster.

 

 

Pretty similar to what I have in mind but I will have on the 2 gauges and I will be painting mine black.

 

I was thinking of doing aluminum when I build my dash.

Those gauges are cool!

 

how reliable are them gauges? one part goes out you gotta replace the whole shebang!? i got some autometers and have a falure already. its on a sending unit i think tho.

 

Love those gauges!
