Well still waiting on my speedo but here is how the cluster is turning out. Oil,water,volts,fuel,speedo and switches for all the lites.

Got the trans back and intalled.All fresh inside,new converter,locking dipstick and made a new crossmember.Put the 1350 in for now until I get the doubler.

The front half of the exhaust is on but I can already see I will have clearance issues on drivers side with the front driveshaft...will deal with that later.

And I got all new shoes. 37x12.5-16 Iroks on 16x10 Black Rock Lobo wheels.. Now its lookin better!

Also whats everybodies opinion on driveline angle? I have the trans pointing down 10º and to me the t-case looks to far below the framerail. I cant level it out anymore than that because my oil filter adapter is already touching my steering box.

Any chance of reclocking the doubler? You can also install spacers between the block bosses and motor mounts/plates...

IMHO, I'd flat belly the pig, with double cardon long travel driveshafts front/rear but don't let me spend your money

I dont have the doubler in yet...didnt even buy it yet actually. lol I just have the 1350 in for now so I dont have anyway to clock it.

Can I take the output flanges off my 1354 and swap em onto my 1350 so I can use my same candon joints?

Looks like I will have to space the motor up for sure for the clearance at the steering box

You can swap the flange off the rear of a 50/54 to the front of the 54, so you can pull the yoke off the rear of the case and do the same...

Been workin alot of hours and kinda slowed down lately but I have a 11 day vacation coming up at x-mas and hope to have it rolling by New Years.

Picked up a 4x10 sheet of aluminum for my bed skins,after a rediculous wait from Ballistic I have my upper coilover mounts,spacers,bolts and tracbar mount. Got some new lights and finished my dash. The GPS speedo is sweet!

Going to raise and move motor back a little bit also to make the room I need for oil relocation block clearance and to get a better driveline angle.

No pix today but starting monday progress will be fast...

Got the panels all cut and installed. Camera was suckin balls for some reason but it looks great in person.

Picked up some Pacer flexy flares and put those on the front fenders.

well now that the holiday BS is over I can get back after this thing...

Got my radius arms and more front end parts{still waiting for inserts}
1.25 Hiems,brackets,bolts,jams. The stock arms were put in a lathe and the small end was turned down to 1.5" all the way up to where they widen.The tubing is 2" .250 wall chromoly and its all tig welded and when finished they were normalized for strength. These were the 2nd try since the first time around the 2" DOM warped when they went in for the heat treating.

Truck now has a smooth belly.Made some 1" spacers for the motor mounts and that worked perfectly so the oil filter relocation block clears the steeringbox and I was able to get the t-case tucked up above the bottom of the frame rail. Made a new crossmember as well.

Bolted up some front recovery hooks.

I started cleaning up the d44 and got the lower coilover mounts finished.

Goin back out in a few to roll axle back under and bolt up arms and start figuring out the frame brackets...
