Wasn't your front d60 a single wheel.
Are you saving all the single wheel stuff or are you willing to part with it.
I have a dually front I'm thinking about switching to single and am trying to find the stuff.

My D60 WAS a Dually. I made it single wheel. Now i am making it a dually again
As for parting with the single wheel stuff, NA. I like to keep things like that on hand. I had a set on the shelf I swapped out with the dually parts truck I have, this way it is still mobile

Cool. No prob. You're like me. Keep it handy just in case.
I'd like to start working on some of my truck projects but everything I own is 650 miles away.
All I have in pa is my 90 lariet and a 91 ninja street fighter project.
F150 is getting maf swap, just need ecu pins and an injector harness.
Ninja is all blasted and painted and waiting to be assembled. (Finally)
That's all I can do with a 2 bay garage (full of crap along with Bridgeport and lathe, surface grinder welder bandsaw and bench) and all I have is a half a truck width alley parking spot.
Yay
Ill get there. Need to start somewhere. At least I can work on something.

A lil more progress today.
Buttoned up interior DONE.
Put my steps back on.
Tightened all the exhaust down w/ band clamps.
Got airbags put back on.
Got 2 tires mounted and balanced, waiting on the other 4
Couldn't help myself and put 2 on one side to see what i got(there are 2 inside wheels) Yes, 6 aluminum wheels and 2" spacers
Well, I had to modify the airbags to clear the tires, they were only 1/2" away
Next up wets and and buff bed

Hey brad , Any tips and tricks for sandblasting the front part of the frame + diff. without damaging anything? I see you removed your fuel tanks , brake lines and frame harness for the back part of the frame. Did you remove anything or cover anything up in the front? And what did you paint up front besides the frame , seem like you got the diff and stearing components too.
thanks

I did everything in the front. You have to remove anything the sandblaster will destroy. If you are going around thing, you are leaving rust, which defeats the whole point of sandblasting
