When we left you last, the new rear was in the front and the rear hadn't come off yet...make sense?
TCI 4-Link with coil-overs, Currie 9" with 3.50's, and a Posi.
And yes, I know that the nuts are loose, and Julie, no lumber was used during this installation.
Also, no Shiners were consumed during the installation, but several were used to celebrate the completion of this phase

 

Very nice. Although I kind of liked the rear in the front look. It gave the truck that "Hey look at my beautiful rear end" look.
Those tires and no bed make the frame look short.
Good progress, can't wait to see more.

 

Lookin very nice, although it looked good out front too.

 

If you think the frame looks short there, you should try parking one next to a 158" wheelbase F-6. That'll make it look positively twinkie.


PS, nice job on the 4 link, Cooter! Lookin' good!

 

LOL....Hey I've got no problem with lumber! Use it often myself.

But....aheggggmmmm. I 'm not seeing any pic of the front of the truck!!!!

Are that 2x6 and beer bottle still there??????!!!!!!

All kidding aside....the new installation looks GREAT! Good Job!

 

The 2 x 6 has moved on to another project and several Shiners have replaced the one that was up on the cowl

 

More progress!! WOW moving ahead is always GREAT. Im waiting to see whats next????

 

The next project is to strip the front leaf spring/beam axle and replace with a MII front end.
After that, it's the drive train.

 

That's the best lookin rear end I've seen in a long time. (Don't tell my wife that!) I'm jealous, that sure would look good settin under my frame.

 

Nice job...looks great!

 

That is Perdy..... Nice job.

I agree........that is a beauty! One question: why the spacers for the upper shock mounts? Couldn't you have just mounted the cross bar farther forward?

 

Thanks everyone for the compliments.

They aren't spacers per se, they are tubes that are through welded. I believe they gave more clearance for the coil-overs. Also. it allowed the use of the existing rivet holes from the cross member that was removed. Now back to work...moving to the front of the truck for the MII install.

 

Ah! Makes more sense now. Thanks for the explanation. Nice truck! I really admire you skills! Keep us posted.

 

She's looking awfully damn good. I'm gonna be putting a No-Limit Fatbar 4-Link in next spring. You got me all anxious and excited again...
