More pics, more hack work being undone.
Heres a lovely shot of the locating device for the rearend. Since its bent it pulled the rear of both 2link bars in about 1/2'' ea... this was of course was because there are no locating pins in the 2link blocks. The axle was also 1/2'' foward on the pass side making the wheelbase off.
Heres the underside of the inner fenders, note the heat marks indicating where it was tacked in, the rest was black silicone.
Mess of a wiring harness. I went back and eliminated the unused wires and re loomed it.
Got the frontend tore apart and noticed they didnt use any lock washers
But the lower cups did however have a locking device
Heres the frontend as he brought it to me
After i clearanced the spring pockets and trimmed to allow the control arm to travel up more.
Ill have pics of some actual CONstruction tomorrow.

Im hoping my 4 link bushings get here tomorrow so i can finish this thing up. Ive been on the front getting all the crap redone.
They had the shock towers welded on about 1 1/2'' too high and the shock maxed out before the truck did.
New shock mounts my machinist spun for me
Installified
Front tubs are in and coated. I also got the firewall panels in and coated.
Made a pocket for his battery to sit in correctly, mounted some kind of emission regulator, and secured the harness to the underside of the tub.
Rear rails are done, air tank mounted, got the cell fitting closer to the frame, and remade the filler neck so the gas will flow easier.
While we were pulling the 2 link off i grabbed the appropriate sized wrench and socket for a 9/16'' and they didnt fit... they used a 1/2'' bolt in a 9/16'' hole.

One last lil suprise before sending the truck home. Redid the switchbox wiring.
Lastly i developed a trans crossmember so it wouldnt drag or high center on the stock one.
Ill have these available on the site shortly.
Customer coming to pick it up at noon. Gotta get an alignment and shes good to go.
