The engine is ready for paint, but I'll do that after I build my turbo piping. I spent my slush fund on the Longhorn.  I tried to get the big ticket items I needed to get it drivable. Here's what I got:
Nitro shocks
Steering block for the D60
DIY4X shackle flip and spring perches for the rear axle
HD hydraulics for the clutch
Billet tappet cover for the engine
I'll post pics when things arrive or I get the power plant sat back in the truck. I spoke with the body man and it's same crap there. Supposed to have my front clip done this past weekend, now it's back to this Friday. I just might have the truck running before he gets my front clip done. I better get the box done so he can set it in the corner for a few months. |
p-pumped 24v is a sweet choice too. nothing beats the rattle of the p-pump motors anyhow.
i could have so hooked you up with a steering block and the shackle reversal if i had known. i happen to know of at least one of each just laying around collecting dust. with a few tweaks the shackle mounts i made for my truck would be reversals too...
good luck with the final push
