while some of y'all will frown apon putting a bumpside box onto a dentside I want to point out that it is being put to use instead of being left to rot and then sent to scrapyard, the truck was in rough shape that only the box was usable

 

box removed from donor truck

 

I never frown when I have box in my bed

 

the only thing that makes you frown is an empty booze bottle.

 

And big meanie head mods

 

It dont look to bad

 

Nah, don't look bad at all. I would take the side chrome off the cab and fenders though.

 

it's a good thing we don't have any of them here!!

 

 

while it is a crack in the bellhousing it looks like its been there before I even had the truck and hasen't opened up under load so I think it will be fine just until I get the spare bellhousing. the front lift is getting worked on/fabbed up. the front hangers will be extended and a 4x4x 1/4" beam will serve as a crossmember/brace

 

Paint the front cross member green so Tinian gets pissed off

 

don't know who that is but perhaps lime green will suffice?

 

That'd be perfect.

 

ok I really need your ideas/thoughts right now..

the front lift is kind of one of my weak spots... I need to drop the front hangers down 4" for that I decided on a 4x4x 1/4" square beam welded to the frame as a crossmember and the stock hanger bracket would be extended 4" along with the bolt holes re drilled for bolting onto the frame. the Driveshaft for 4wd binds if you turn it by hand... is it possible to leave the stock hangers that are on the back of the frame just behind the cab mounts the same as they are to tilt the front diff down a bit to try and help the driveshaft slip/angle?

 

That would eff up your castor angle. You would need to cut/turn the axle if you wanted to do that. How much total lift?
