1982 C/K 6.0L Caitlyn Mall Crawler (Interior time)

[Deuling]

Imo, with the TNA cross member, and the shock hoops tied together... It will make the front frame section stupid strong.


Also the motor mounts are bolted to the top of the frame... So it really ties it all in nicely.

Would I really be that much ahead? Most likely not but every little helps. The frame in front of the shackles will be plated, I have a steering box brace and the hoops will be tied together with a cross bar. I hope this will add some structural integrity.

It will be fine. Your not going to be jumping it and you already said your not doing big crawling stuff.

Speed bumps won't do that much damage.

Not sure if I should laugh or agree, this truck has already been jumped when it had 1ton suspension. Add the travel now and Houston we have lift off.

[Babaganoosh]

If that was the case the truck would be done... Hopefully this weekend I have a decent update.

Ratio wise, this is certainly the least productive, consistently active thread on this site.

If it wasn't 930 at night I would be all over it.

 

[y5mgisi]

What was your excuse at 8:30?

 

[Babaganoosh]

Dark out I would need a spot light and I don't want to piss my neighbors off, it's been torn apart for a year and they haven't said anything.

 

[Chevy305]

Would the neighbors really complain if you used a drop light when it got dark? Obviously no grinding or hammering because of the noise but turning wrenches is pretty quiet

Neighbors SUCK... I want to live where I don't have any....

Have to agree even tho I don't chime in very often I do watch your thread. I always know that even before I check that probally no progress has been made, but I check it anyways cause I always want to be proved wrong by opening your thread and seeing lots of pictures of tons of stuff you got done to the truck.......that hasn't happened yet. so I'm still watching haha

[Babaganoosh]

Ouch, but I have to agree.

 

[Mr.Clean]

I didn't mean for my comment to be mean or a slap in tha face or anything. I meant it more as a jokingly way of saying get that truck going. And take lots of pictures! haha
