Morning John, been over 7 months now. Have always like TCI but my opinion of them is going down fast. How's the weather up that way? Never been through that part of Canada, only British Columbia, Yukon and a little of Alberta. Born and raised in Alaska.

Weather has been kind of weird, snow all melts away and temps in the low 50's then the next thing you know the ground is covered again with 2 inches of snow then repeats itself..it's eventually has to stay nice..lol
Hope those spindles and necessary parts arrive soon for you. I have to figure out what or how I'm going to deal with the front end on my project. I have a 96 F350 DRW and would like to use the same rims from it up front but finding a cross member with the correct track width and 8 bolt hubs seems to be a problem

TCI said yesterday that they are at least 30 days out. Guess this will be going on the back burner for the rest of the year. I have a few other projects that was I start will eat all my time. So Maybe next year.

Well jumping up and down doing my upset duck routine seems to have got things done.


Spindle and brake assembly came in yesterday. Now I need to see where the transmission rebuild is. Still need to fit everything to find where the transmission support needs to go. Then paint the frame and start putting everything back on.

Andy it is hard to measure a picture. lol Did you go with 5x5 lug pattern? That is what that looks like to me.

I have not measure it. It should be 5X5.5. May get to that this weekend. I hope they didn't screw it up again. Was happy when I saw 5 lug pattern that look correct. Guess I need to double check that and open the other one to see if its correct. Would be nice to get this thing rolling again.

What type of rim are you planning on running Andy.? I have a set of Smoothies from Wheel Vintiques that have both the GM 5 x 5" and Ford 5 x 5.5" bolt patterns
My panel is on a 72 Chev frame


These are the same rims I have on the panel just can't find one of the panel..lol
