Project Re-Gen: 1985 D350 Headed to SEMA '15!!

Everyone likes a little mockup!















?

Here are some picture with the fabricated 4 link and bag brackets.

These parts are fabricated in house by Humberto.









The truck is moving right along.

Here is an update on the A Arms that Humberto built specifically for this truck:

very cool to see a dodge being fixed up. not many of these still around that are worth fixing. the work looks top notch.

Very cool build! I really dig the unique design. Can't wait to see more.

Great progress pics! Keep them coming!!

Cool project, great pics, keep 'em coming.

And your nick is cracking me up. Easier to say it spelled that way, too. (used to call my homeboy tlacuache back in the day)

Definitely going to be a nice rig, I love that body style. I like the chevy fender plan too.

I spelled it that way to make it easier for "Los Gueros". I actually started a company with the name, Taquache Motorsports. It still vexes people on correct pronunciation...

Thanks for the compliments and support everyone! I'll be meeting up with Humberto this week to catch up on a few updates!

How about some updates!!

Humberto has been very busy working on this truck so there is a lot to post. It might take me a day or two to get everything up to current.

Where to start?

Let's begin with the end:

a few more things have been added to the rear of the truck including:

a raised fuel tank (1.5")

a custom bent panhard bar to clear the fuel tank

and a Helwig sway bar out of an Excursion with modified bushings to clear the 4 link setup







The panhard bar has a double swivel on the ends which will allow for a full 11" of travel in the rear.
