Heaph's Build Thread - Built not Bought

chiefheaphy said:
I'm gonna have to look into it more but I think a custom driveshaft would be in order. One with a 1410 yoke (fits into the 4 hole plate) at the rock side and a 1350? at the 205 side. Ideally, I would want 1410's at both sides, but Im not sure if they make 1410 for output shafts on 29 spline 205's. I havent got there yet so Im just not really sure.

So...heres some pics.

Let my buddy weld for the first time, boxed half the frame (tacked),got the hubs flipped and carried my grandmother in the house after she passed out from having low blood sugar and being in the sun all day. I thought she was dead. All in all, quite a productive day.

Have a good night!
later,
Heaph

looking good dude!

Let me know when your ready to get the body back on, you got my number;)
 
High on fumes?

JEez this came out way better than I expected. WElds could be cleaner, but for my experience and what I am workin with I think it will do the trick. I almost dont want to put any holes in it, but I need to paint the inside and run gas and electrical lines. Talk about stiff, this frame is solid!



Well Look's like I am starting a project with "rock's too " ;)

ROCK ON!

did you grind the point where the frame and plates meet before you welded? You can make a little groove and clean it up at the same time...that way the weld really penetrates and grabs as much surface area as possible of both pieces...not monday morning quarterbackin' ya'...just an fyi

looks like good progress as usual :)
 
Looking good. I can understand not wanting to put holes in there. Maybe run the fuel lines on the outside of the box? I'm sure you can leave the inside unpainted it will still last a long time with that much strength. :D
 
gonna bolt in the axles as soon as top plates from KERT arrive. (Hopefully Mon.) Then I should be able to put the driveline together and get the body on.
 
God Bless America!

Finally starting to look like something.

Gonna pick up hydro bellhousing from Currank5 later today.
Hope to get the tranny and transfer bolted in by Sunday.

Need close-up shots of the spring perches and u-bolt plates.
 
I hate to be the first one to post this but... How do you plan on correcting the front shackle angle now that you boxed and welded the mount into the frame? The rear angle is also backwards.

Other than that it's cool and waaaaaaaaay tall man! Good progress. :D
