project red ranger

[redneckracerx]

I know I should be calling this thing "project cinder blocks" but she's back!

I think we left off somewhere around here

well no more cinder blocks. I have my drivetrain in except for the final mount for the rear t-case and the driveshafts. 460,c-6,np205,np205,5-ton rockwell!

I made my jackshaft (shaft between the 1st and 2nd t-cases) I'm not sure how it's going to hold up, but we'll see.

PICS ARE NOW ON PAGE 3

no offense man...but that driveshaft is going to pop the first revolution it makes. the ears arent even on the same centerline....

 

[PARKINGLOT]

well...at the very least, It'll be beefy when done. What frame is that?

 

[redneckracerx]

wicked_sludge: It's the angle of the pic. the ears are perfectly inline and the shafts on the t-cases are parallel from the side and straight from the top.

parkinglot: its a 77 f-150 with 12" ch**y springs

....

 

[krugford]

that looks... big. anymore bracing in the works for the rear shock mounts?


keep the pics coming.

 

[danger88ranger]

looking good, i hope that shaft holds

 

[redneckracerx]

doin some motor work...

krugford: I dont have any permanent braces on the front drop brackets forthe rear leafs because I'm not sure where my d. shaft is going to be. Yes, there will be more bracing.

 

[Sunk]

Nice. That'll be a fun truck when its done.

 

[PARKINGLOT]

holy big block batman! what kind of carb's are you running with that setup?

 

[metalmacguyver]

any updates?

 

[redneckracerx]

they're predator carbs and they work pretty well, almost like a mechanical fuel injection. I'm going to try to get everything buttoned up today and break-in the cam. Good thing I don't have neighbors

 

[redneckracerx]

This is where things get a little scary...

 

[wahlstrom1]

Well, besides the scary factor of that last pic.....I wanna know more about the tan first gen on full widths with the canopy in the backround....pics too please!
