Cant wait to see the progress, oh and I just mounted the 38.5 swampers I got from you on my new beadlocks and they run great.

sweet, keep us posted. Target finish date?

 

[gm500hprat]

No target date at this time, I have an injured back and Im having some procedures done, probably will be a month or so before I can get to it. But I will continue to dismantle my 76. Here is a pic of the chassis sitting in my garage.

I love the suspension seats. Is the rest of the interior going to be green?

 

[gm500hprat]

yeah green or pink depends if my daughters like the dora the explorer or barbie chairs.

looks to be a good build, i helped my buddy build X #10 last year

 

[gm500hprat]

Got the interior gutted and wiring removed. Started pulling fenders and hood off. Cab will be coming off shortly. Then I'll set the chassis on the truck to figure out where I want to locate it.

I ordered 4 more 1 1/4 bungs for my 4 link from BTF, as well as a 14 bolt axle truss.

On the way home Im picking up the 2 in .250 wall DOM for my link arms and 4 more 2.5in johnny joints from john at Currie.

Here is a picture of an older model truss on a truck

And here is a computer image of the newer style one.
