Once more got a little done. Drivers side fender is mocked up. Bolt are in it but not tight. Have to wiggle things around to make it all line up. Fender wells are out and it is setting as low as it'll go. It's a little uneven from the passenger side to the drivers. The passenger is about 3" and the drivers is about 4 1/4" to 4 1/2". I'm not sure what's holding up the drivers side but I'm going to investigate a little bit. Could be something simple.

It's a parallel 4 link. I've still got to a panhard bar for it to keep the rear centered.
More progress though. Got the bed put on.

Very cool, before long youll be ready for paint.
With the bed, if i remember correctly they used wood spacers. That should get your line even and ive heard a lot of guy buy hockey pucks and cut them for spacers. Im planning on tyring this as my bed doesnt line up
Im cheap so i like when i find stuff that works. So whenever you get ready to choose paint....
Check this out....About $160 for a full kit on a lot of them. Now im doing mattes, low gloss and stuff like that but in comparison to hotrodflatz its like 60% cheaper and seems to be the same

You forgot to put the link Jeff. Talking about making things work with what you have. I used a metal u shaped fence post as the new front support for the bed since the old one was rusted out. I will have to shim it about half an inch to make it all line up.

Got my panhard bar put i today. Made a couple brackets and bolted it in. I used a adjustable top link for a tractor as my panhard bar. There's about an inch of space between the pumpkin and the bar. I've seen people use stuff like that in jeeps and 4x4 vehicles so I figured why not. It was only $21 from tractor supply. Also you can see in the picture where I'm going to use the old engine support bar to replace the existing frame support that's in the way of the driveshaft.
