No, it IS on the way. I just gotta get up off my rear and measure out my truck...

 

[UrbanRedneckKid]

The front end stands on it's own.
Finished plating the frame, and put on the passenger side coil bucket today.

I'll have the track bar and tierod done tomorrow, possibly the shock mounts. Then it's on to the rear.

I have pics but my new phone is being a pos.

 

[UrbanRedneckKid]

Well the front suspension and steering are done, even did and alignment on it tonight. Just gotta paint the frame rails, then it's on to the rear.

Pics soon, hopefully. Damn Sprint data network is down, and pics are stuck on my phone...

 

[UrbanRedneckKid]

POINTLESS UPDATE

Got new wheels, $50 at the swap meet, 15x10, 3.5 backspacing, need polished/ not pitted

And parked the Beretta under it. The same Beretta I drove home 45min with four 35" tires in it.

As for actual work I've done... nuttin really. Pressed my Timken Set20 wheel bearings on my Moser 9" axles, that's it.

very nice man i cant wait to start in on my truck

 

[UrbanRedneckKid]

Just ordered a set of Hedman Headers and Stage8 locking header bolts!

I was gunna get a winch instead.... but I don't have a bumper yet...

 

[UrbanRedneckKid]

Well by now you'd think I'd have this truck built... Well I don't but my thread is way behind.

8.8 gone, ready for the 9"

Axle loosely bolted in, shock mock up. Exhaust in the way.

New tailpipes, both shocks mocked up.

New tailpipes, ready to be welded up and have the 5" put back on. Shocks mocked up.

My steal of a wheel, polished up with new rubber. 35x12.5R15 KM2s

2 of my wheels and tires. got a 4 week back-order on the other 2.

Gettin my bed as clean as it will ever be. You'd be surprised how far into the bed the mud goes...

ready to put the bed on(along with the toolbox and spare tire) gotta get ride height to set the pinion angle.

It'll be nice to see it all together, but the bed comes right back off after the perches are welded and the suspension gets flexed to find shock mount heights. Then all that's left is, traction bars, more painting, driveshafts, bumpers, and front axle guts.

It's getting there! finally...
