Looking good. I have to hand it to you Howdiy, I only wish I had your temperment. You seam to brush off 99% of the insults and negitive comments.

Really all I have to do is look at who it's coming from. Most of the time all I have to do is look at the fab work the person flamming me has done and I laugh.

I looked all over online for the kingpin rebuild kits and actually my local GMC dealership had them cheaper than anywhere online. So gather your prices online then check with the dealer B4 you order. I think I got mine for $46ish after tax, and no waiting.

I'll have to ask my shop neighbor to check. Hes a GM parts manager and gets stuff at his prices.

Thanks
 
Heres my steering arm also

I tacked the stock steering arm and need to cut it off

I got a 14 bolt rear

It's a 70's axle and the perches are too narrow

It was free though
 
Are you going to move perches, or switch hangers? It seems to me it would make more sense to switch hangers since you have the 2wd shorties on there.

Whats comical is the fact that you've been working on your truck for 2 years and haven't really accomplished much

Lets see what you've made, besides some simple sheet metal I haven't seen anything, mostly just bolt ons
 
holy yit, you must be kidding me?

yeah ok, kid... bolt ons?

It was mainly funny cuz, this is the first ounce of work ANY of us have seen from you..

Have you even read my build thread? my freakin entire truck is custom fab....

I can't wait till you sell the truck, and just leave...

All the custom fab I see is simple sheetmetal, and some gauges and switches. Your killing me, this is golden :haha:

I have have a rollcage under my belt, not to mention pretty much rebuilding the entire car

I'm done arguing, I don't want to embarrass you anymore

I've stayed out of your thread, and I think you should do the same
 
all I see is a 19 yr old who likes to show off daddys toys...

welcome to the ignore list....
 
17....

And believe I'm not showing off, I could post way more impressive things he has. Me and him have been working on that car together going on 3 years

And I'm glad you admitted defeat :waytogo:
 
Ryoken's wiring is anything but bolt in. And, during the first year of working on his blazer, It was his Daily Driver. I can't image doing the stuff he has done in one evening and have to get it going the next day.
The battery box, Electrical box, Fan shroud, and dash are custom. Hell, His center consol. with the Art Carr shifter is custom.
 
Keep it coming, my thread was getting boring anyways

I haven't really even done anything on the suburban besides weld on brackets, A lot more is in it's future, including tube work

Lookin pretty good so far. Does your arm have the taper machined into it?

For the Kingpin rebuild kits check out Highhonda on Pirate. he had the best deals I found anywhere for all the dana 60 stuff.
