sweet looking rig man... cant wait to see the finished product.

are you going to keep the 4.10's or go to another gear?

I'm very impressed as well. You do excellent fab work, especially for doing it in the driveway. Looks great.

I cheated!

Getting the head studs all torqued.....

Well after much thought.... I decided to ditch the NP205 transfercase and go with a NV271.

I will be boxing up the frame in the near future (already started cutting and fabing) and will just use a half round to close up this cut out...

HRDROKN

Boxing the frame.

I was able to get some more of the frame boxed in... this is the drivers side where I had to make clearance for the NV271 transfercase.

HRDROKN

As with the long term plan.... removing the Superduty leafs up front and going to a coilover setup.

Fabing out the coilover hoops and mounting....

Clearance for the steering box.... I will cut that tab off and use a .500" spacer. That should give me enough room.


Deciding how I want to do this....


Results....

HRDROKN

Completed the passenger side coilover hoop....

HRDROKN

The drivers side hoop is going to take a little more work to clear the steering shaft...

I have most of my 4-link demensions resolved and the leafs come out!

HRDROKN

Checking it out.... making some last minute decisions and then there is no looking back!

HRDROKN

Started fabricating a front axle truss....

HRDROKN

Getting back to getting this 4-link built. There is a slight tweak in this frame under the drivers side... that shows up whenever I'm trying to establish reference points for measurement.

HRDROKN

Some updates.

Have the lower cradle all welded in...



1960's Volvo motor mounts work nice for the trans....




Working on the final trans mount that ties in to the lower section...

Worked on the axle end of things today (whatever day that was)... after working a 12 hour night shift.
