Of course. A '97 cab, front fenders, grille, etc. I'm not sure if I want to bob a standard cab bed or flatbed it. We'll see if I can find a decent bed for a decent price...

I assume the "slightly dinged" bed is off your truck lol

Looking forward to some progress. Those towers are $$$$, have you looked at ruff stuffs towers? They look extremely similar and way cheaper

 

[brinker88]

They are similar, yes, but not as tall. The 4WU ones are 18" tall. RuffStuff ones are only 12" tall. I want to try and keep this thing as low as possible with 14" C/O and 37s. Who knows though. Things are in the planning stage right now. I might get the cab on and the suspension in and see that I only need 12".

You know my opinion, but then again I'm ridiculous.

Its not going to be a bad thing if you do, but in your case as of right now, its not needed.

sweet baby jesus. i think you should secure that a little more.

I haven't posted in a hot minute. I just caught up on the last 40 pages of your build thread and realized I didn't find what I was looking for! Have you done anything with your radius arms yet? I just welded mine up last night and wanted to compare.

How will you be running your radius arm brackets?

 

[brinker88]

Radius arms held up great!! Radius arm brackets are just bolted through the frame. Truck is down for the count though. I'm building a new one. New frame, SAS'd, rebuilt drivetrain, etc, etc. with a '97 cab.

 

[armadillon]

Sorry, I wasn't clear I meant on the SAS project! What were your plans for the RAs there?

2" x 0.25" wall DOM tubing welding into the OEM ford radius arms. I probably won't go any longer than 35" long (plenty long enough for 14" C/Os). The radius arm mounts will be frenched into the frame and pushed in around 2".
