winter new truck build - Page 2 - Competition Diesel.Com

Also watch the distance from the frame to the axle...I re-designed mine 3 times. I was using a dodge D60 and I had the axle trucked almost right down against the motor crossmember. I also had to notch out the A-arm mounts for clearance on the pumpkin. The springs I used were the stock 2wd spings...not sure which ones you are using?

Maybe think about a bolt in crossmember under the engine.. so you can get the lower end of the engine, with it in the truck.. there was a thread or two with some pics.. (Just a thought while your at this point... Looking good..

I got some more done tonight. All the brackets cut off of the front. Like smoothing some up tomorrow, and i'll be ready for front two crossmembers. Then start getting everything lined up to get the front axle set in place.

Hp 60 out of a Ford. 35 spline inners and outers. With a Detroit locker. Rear is a sqhr, I'll have pictures of it in tonight hopefully.

Got back axle under it. Still going to put two braces to the back and finish welding it up. Hopefully have rolling chassis done and painted this weekend and start putting body on it. Its coming together decently so far maybe rest will go fine.
