Fabricated and bolted up my "drop" front leaf spring hangers tonight out of 4x6 1/4 wall. Going to get rear swing shackles in tomorrow. Decided on a custom bed design and drab green paint with flat white accents. My buddy came up for a word to describe a narrowed front clip: dovehead. So I will be dove-heading my truck at some point in the future. Possibly sooner than later because the tire may get into the grill/headlight assembly.
Why does it even matter if he lifts the front? Every picture he post of his truck is in the same situation as he has sex. He just keeps backing his rear up and on something. I don't think he know that most people go over stuff in the forward direction instead of going backwards.
I'm going to attempt to finish my spring hangers and get the front axle fully mounted tomorrow because I'm going to pull my brother's 78 bronco into the garage. We're going swap out the 400/broken c6 for a mildly built 460/mildly built c6. A buddy and I have decided to put up our money and time as a wedding present to get it ready for a mud bog on October 2nd.
After the front axle is mounted, all that will be left is installing the hydro steer, the saginaw pump and running brake lines. I'm going to buy a couple heims to make ladder/traction/anti-wrap bars sometime soon also as well as make some spring clamps.
