Re: Project '86
It almost worked



I only get about 9 inches of lift up front and after about 6" the arm contacts the steering shaft. I am going to have to get one more u-joint.

Anybody got a used 3/4" DD x 3/4" DD laying around???

Re: Project '86
I ran a piece of 1" angle across the bottom to tie the sides back together and then welded in the filler panel

Re: Project '86
I don't mind because that isn't my pic. I had planned to do that on mine and came across that photo from somebody elses build. Now that I have my tank in place I don't think it is going to work because the tank is too high.

Re: Project '86
Big wheels and dragging the rockers is usually not my thing but I really like this truck. I really like the fact you brought the W/O down in the front. Its a small change that really makes a difference.
