I'm doing some modifications to the shorty hedman hedders. The passenger's side needed to have a tube moved so it would fit. I also cut off the collectors. They are supposed to be 2.5" but they were closer to 2.25" and had no length at all. I'll be putting on a longer collector that is 3" and then use a reducer after the collector to get the 2.5"

This is before i cut the collector off. I don't have an after pic.

Right now the front suspension is extended and up against the bump stop. I'll be needing a softer set of springs for the front and the rate will be determined after the truck is finished. There is plenty of room for the arm to have full travel and not hit the tube.

Love this build, any updates? I definitely need to talk with you offline about some suspension ideas. Great stuff.

no progress lately. I've spent the little extra time I have had on the '68 satellite.
