Another FW 78/79 dana 44 swap

[97TrailRigDD]

Well my drop pitman arm is about 6" center to center not 7" like I thought. All I could find at the U-Pull-It was 5.5 and 6 , straight or like 2" drop . Ended up getting a 6" straight one . Then drilled it out to 5/8" and reamed for the draglink end.

Added some Mile Marker Premium Stainless lockouts.

Some more posing

Had other stuff to do today. But tomorrow I plan to mount the coilovers.

Doing hoops and keeping AC is going to suck.

After that heatwave we just had and I do daily drive my truck I want to keep the AC .

Man I'm slowing down, couldn't even get the coilovers mounted. Got it ready to tack up but still need to reinforce with some more tube and gussets. Also need to make the mounts for the bottoms.

Had to put the drivers side 2" back compared to the passenger side.

Well you must be a oba. Because there was a few days I needed my AC.

It'll be done for Redbird.

And limit straps are on the way.
