just a lousy update

ok guys.... here is just an update as i haven't gotten to work on my junk lately since my sister has been in the hospital but i have gotten the rear spring swap done. about to being working on the front. (guess i'll need to make yet another set of shackles and my 6th driveshaft, lol)




also got my york ready to go, all i gotta do is plumb up my air tank and all! so far that baby pumps some air even without a tank!
