project oldskol...(updated)

So I finally got started on my truck today...got the front tore down a few weeks ago & was able to get all my guys together. I really didnt have a chance to get pics of everything, but Ill have more tomorrow & as we get more done. Were only baggin the front for now until I get a bigger notch & that 3-link kit from Seth! Its going to have Cando upper/lower control arms & bag mounts on the front, FBI tranny crossmember, 1/2 lines with 1/2 SMC valves, a AirZeneth compressor & a skinny/slim 5-gallon tank. I also removed the rear perportion valve & bypassed it. Ill do a write up on what I did soon.






*took bed off to located everything under the rear part of it

*Ill post more pics tomorrow & Monday...going to work on it a few hours a day.

nice start man have always liked your truck. when do you plan on doing that write up?

Thanks bro...as for the write up Ill should have that up either tomorrow or Monday at the latest. Ive got to take some pics of how everything looks now & get them in order. Its really simple & is basically the same way the rear braking system on the pre 89 model trucks are.

lookin forward to the write up. was it easy? and how much did it cost to do?

Heck yeah man looking good! Can't wait to see it on the ground with that 3-link!

PS can I have the left over transmission mount on the cross member

Sure...let me go take it off now before I forget lol!

Here are a few more pics...getting there lol.










*more to come soon

Looks good! And nice looking welds!
Seems like only yesterday that I was @ that stage!

Are you going to have her done for Scrapefest? It looks like you and your friends could build the notch

If everything keeps going good then Ill have the front done & the tranny crossmemner in as well too. After Scr8fest Im going to stepnotch it & install the 3-link that Im getting from Seth. After I finish my Eclipse & sell it Im going to take those funds with what Ive saved up & stock floor it. Ive got a buddy who wants my frame so all the hard work were doing wont go to waste!!
