It's finally time to bring this thread back to life. After I got Rich's truck done, I went crazy on the C-cab. I now have a rolling chassis!

I'll get some pictures up tonight.

Here ya' go! Shots of the rear suspension and the whole thing.

This is where the ladder bars mount to the frame. It's MUCH heavier duty than the average street rod.



Here's the new spring mounts and where the ladder bar mounts to the rear end.





It's almost a car!!

RC. I'm in the new shop now, so the home garage is empty. I should be there on Saturday evening and Sunday to set up.

Finally!!!

I have some pictures. Here's the floor section.



It's hard to see, but this is the battery box. It's gonna be sunk into the floor behind the seats.



Here's the back of it. It's going to be bigger than I thought.



Here's another shot of it all.
