Got a lot done tonight even though it doesn't look it, I still work from 730-430 then do this till 930

Bout time I update, ordered some brackets through SD so I was waiting on those... got a call and they told me they shipped my custom cut duck heads, I was confused, but then soon realized that they do resemble a ducks head :crazy: Here they are

Upper control arm frame mounts to be exact, with stock alignment adjustment.
First took care of the rear crossmember, doubles as a bed mount, however I'm considering a tilt bed, not to be a show off, more so for ease of maintenance and such

Then got the rear cab mount done... wish I would have planned the frame a little more I don't love the fact it's so long, but that's what happens when you do the first one, you learn as you go

That's it for now, I should have my t56 in monday then I can mock the motor up and the trans and finish the frame to start the fun part of this build, the complete one off front end. :woot:

wow very impressive:yes:

nice work - i can't wait to see this truck finished.

so what are you going to do with the old frame.

the old frame is up for sale, and cheap too, I don't have the room to store it, I already cut up my factory frame (4wd) so even though I have more than $1000 into it, I will sell for no less than $1000

Thanks guys, I can't wait to drive it either!

Looks good!!!
Should be awesome when completed. You're working on it a lot I see.
When do you think you'll have it done? Keep up the good work.:thumbsup:
