They are all gone!
Are you planning on clocking the T-Case? I only ask because the mounting foot will need to be modified if you plan on doing so.
Yes I am planning on clocking the case flat. Do you have more info? Pics?
I do have pics.....
Below you can see the slots which allow for some adjustment (clocking), however nowhere near enough for it to be flat or close to it. So I had to use some transfer punches, drill my own holes and trim a section for the rear shift rail to clear.
Hmmm ok I see what you mean. Almost need a clocking ring with a mounting foot. How much does your case hang below the rails with that setup?
If the frame stayed flat the 205 wouldn’t be below the frame at all however it starts to angle up therefore it’s probably a couple inches below at the back of the 205.
Ok that's not terrible
Haven't done too much on this thing besides buy parts and sell off stuff. My current axles are going away this weekend so I got the rear out.
Not much of an update, but got off a little early and got a couple hours before baseball.
Broke the 63s down tonight and got the shackle flip mocked up so I could check travel. Sprayed a little Ryoken green so I can put some paint on tomorrow.

63s and the new 14 bolt are installed.
With a zero rate the wheelbase is + 6.5" right now.
No weight over the rear and it's sitting about 5.5" over stock.
Also finished up a few underside cage plates.

Got the rest of the front end stripped down for the most part this weekend. Drained everything and ready to pull the front axle, steering, and springs out.
Front axle is out. Steering box, crossover, pump, and lines are also removed. Rearranged axles to make some room. 2 14 bolts and the old 60 with all the steering go to their new home on Friday.
Front springs are off, stock hangers are off, frame rails cleaned up, and got the B52s off the exo/engine cage.
Built these neato plates to try and eliminate the frame flex at the upper shackle hanger. My slider/Apillar will tie in behind the shackle, and the engine cage will tie in forward and above the shackle mount. Should brace that area up well. Still have to figure out the lower two bolts as the welded in studs didn't hold up to torquing the nuts very well.

Nice plates. I need those like last year.
Yeah my pass side frame has a kink in the upper part of the rail.
Finished the passeneger side today before work, and got both sides fully welded up. Gotta throw some some paint on these springs and hopefully get them put back together and hung this weekend.
i like your shackle flip set up.
