77 C20 hauler to crawler

I'm always looking for bumper ideas. Need a bender to do what I want.

So I'm winging that part!
 
Is this mess going to Moab for BB16?
I wish! Last Moab trip was ejs 09 and I don't know that I'll make it back down there anytime soon. I used to make lots of $$$ and see my family a little and now I make a lot less but spend more time with my family. One of those life changes that gets in the way of my hobby but I definitely can't complain. :waytogo:
 
It's what it needs to be.

Did they redevelop the drag strip yet?
 
Not yet. Economy took a dive here and I've heard rumors the detention center is on hold for now. I keep hoping that they keep racing but it sounds like the management wasn't taking care of the bills so I'm pretty sure it's done for good. Makes me sad. I live a couple blocks away and even if I didn't go to the races I still loved to listen! When the outlaw 10.5 cars were here a few years back i was counting the seconds in my head. Lots of memories at that place over the past 20 years.
 
Me as well, spent many weekends at that track
 
How long ago was that pic? I think I remember the car. Never raced but ran some T.O.'s in my 07 cummins. Not really fast but it was fun anyway.
 
Started in 92 through 06. I will have to dig up pictures of my other car as well. Very distinct paint jobs for sure!
 
once again I fell short of my goal but i did get the Frontend under it! Feels good to have made some noticeable progress. If my measurements are correct the axle is 3" forward from a stock 4wd. The puddle on the floor is a reminder that I need to order a steering box... Also forgot to mention that I robbed the hubs and rotors off my gm60 which was actually a drw but was machined to srw. Too bad it's still 30 spline outers.

I don't remember for sure but I think I can swap in 52's pretty easy with the shackle being where it is. It's all a blur right now and I don't want to say anything that will make me look like a fool. Lol

Oh come now, what's a little Internet flaming among total strangers?

Yes 52s will bolt up with the stock hanger location for the shackle and the other end goes in the furthest back bolt hole on the b52...which looks similar to what you have there.
 
Yep think so. I used the 52s by moving the front hanger like the write up. I did not move the shackle mount

Sweet. My shackle is just a little forward from stock. (Don't remember exact measurement) How much do the 52's move the axle forward?
