Lookin good Mark! Nice job. One of these days i'll get started on mine. I got the D44 axle which is all torn down so i've been prepping that. Not sure when i'll actually put my truck under the torch though.

The frame plating really makes everything look clean. I was thinking of doing the same thing. How come you went with 1/4" on the outside driver's frame rail rather than 3/16? Couldn't you have just not used the plate that came with the steering install kit or was it attached to the pump? What's the reason for the square cut out in the plating toward the rear? Was that just to get more contact w/ the frame for welding or does it serve some functional purpose?

What springs are you using and what size are they? Do you have the measurements of the height from ground to the bottom of the frame?

Will you be putting together a parts list and uploading pictures from the build or are these about all that you have?


The swap looks really good Mark, very clean. Nice work <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
