Morning everyone. Nice truck David you are one hell of a fabricator.
Troy I know what you mean about drive line angle. I have read way to many pages and forum threads on angles. Everyone has a diff ideas, even the diff rod mags are all over the place. We will see when ever it goes down the road.

Good morning Steve, Mike and anybody else stopping by!
Yeah Mike I have done a ton of reading on driveline angles too. Like you said everybody seems to have different ideas on it. I think I have finally picked one and am going with it and see how it drives. Only trouble is when I was getting it set yesterday I find that my u bolts on the axle wont be long enough now I have to get new ones.
Its always something.

Morning everyone.
Looks like David & Troy were busy last night. David that truck is impressive. After seeing all of that work, I will not complain on sandblasting a tractor to paint. How long you been at the project?

Good morning everyone, just finished ordering an updated manifold and new turbo for my dad's tractor. One of my spring break projects next week. If I get real ambitious I'll order up some pipes and finally get that 6.0 intercooler put in my pickup.

Thomas, What kind of tractor you running? Using it for pulling, or just giving it a little extra HP?
