old yelr · 09-17-2013, 09:21 PM

Just curious, what size are the bolts you used to put it all together? Are they 3/8" or 7/16"?

EJC78 · 09-25-2013, 01:23 PM

woodwright · 10-07-2013, 02:23 PM

Do you have any more "in production" pics of the dash and some more details?

EJC78 · 10-07-2013, 04:44 PM

I do have other pics search my feed but I will be posting more on the dash in a few weeks gonna tackle the guage cluster glove box and center console

EJC78 · 10-17-2013, 01:17 PM

Got some goodies in. Air Ride HQ shocks came in part#22169841 with correct valving for front and rear.

EJC78 · 10-23-2013, 02:47 PM

I was able to find a nice bed today for my build no rust or dents

EJC78 · 10-23-2013, 02:54 PM

I was able to mount my Air Zenith compressors using 2 factory holes in the frame but will have to drill two holes for the rear mounting bracket. Has anyone put a thick piece of rubber or urethane between the frame and the compressor to help insulate the vibration created by the compressor when running? and if so is it noticeably better?

EJC78 · 10-28-2013, 11:44 AM

Got the new crossmember painted ready for install

EJC78 · 10-28-2013, 01:43 PM

I bit the bullet and ordered my rims 22x8.5 front 22X10 out back 4.75 bs front 5.5 bs rear
