So I have been on the forum for almost a year and some of the guys have been asking me to post up a build thread. I've had threads on other forums and figure I will try to transfer the complete build up here. It might seem a little bit choppy because of the copy and paste of posts. Ill try to have it making more sense by adding dates in front of each post.
July 13th 2015
Been slowly working on a 49 Willys Pickup since June.
9" stretched cab, 6" stretched bed,
custom 2x4x.1875 rect tube frame, 94 Cummins 12 valve,
3 linked Dana 60 front, tri 4 linked Dana 70 rear, D2600 air bags all around.
Had it sitting on 32s during a lot of the mock up. Grabbed the 37s off the Cherokee the other day
to get some ideas. Thinking Ill end up running 35s.
Hoping to have it done here in a couple more months.
Ill do some back posting with dates to catch ya up.
Here's how the truck sat in July. Main sheet metal for the cab stretch done, cab, front clip, axles, and engine mocked up on the frame.
