Alright so continuing on with the next installment
Cleaned up the axle, and spent.... man, probably and entire week designing a truss. It fit on the first try though!
Birthday present to myself came in shortly after, massive forged ballistic johnny joints. 5lbs each! Should last me a while
This wasnt a very nice truck to begin with, its taken a lot to get it as clean as it is today.
It was hard on the wallet, but I'd wanted a steed as long as I have had these trucks, and oh baby, are they sexier in person
After too many hours on the computer, I finally cut the truss out, always pretty cool seeing a physical copy of something that was on the computer minutes ago
So with the way the control arms are mounted outboard of the frame, and the fact that I'd no longer be using the stock control arm mounts, the cab mount had to come off. To gain some up travel, and clean the place up I fabricated a new set of cab mounts.
I'll stop here for today. Just getting good now, everything starts to come together and I fab more and more things up
