Albuq why taller jack stands?

 

To get the jackstands under the axle, instead of supporting all the weight on the link bars.

 

Ok. Got it.

 

Garbz and I finally got the 4 link installed, rear frame c notched and boxed. Pinion is centered to driveshaft also. This truck is gonna sit low. Here's just a couple pics, I'll post more later

 

 

I was also concerned about the location of the panhard bar. How much clearance do you have between the mount and frame.

 

I had to shorten the panhard bar as much as i could, then modified the axle bracket to fit accordingly. I think it's barely inside the frame rail. I'll take pics tonight or tomorrow and get back to ya. I'm more concerned about the piece of DOM tubing i welded in place of the old shock crossmember. If I have enought room when coilovers are compressed....

 

It's been a while and got a few things done. Gonna make it short and sweet. Brake lines, fuel lines, Holley fuel pump, edelbrock 750cfm carb, just ordered ididit column, headers, tranny shift linkage, and grant steering wheel. Frame, chassis, and drivetrain (except driveshaft) are all pretty much done. Just a few tweeks here and there

 

 

That is sweet. Thanks for the update. Good luck.

 

Truck is looking good. Glad to see your'e making steady progress. Thanks for sharing.

 

 

Enjoying your build thread, real nice work.

 

Just some updates, so I don't get behind. Driver seat installed, (might switch them later, not sure if I like them.
