...DAMN..I'm about a slow bitch!...Got the box mounted..Boxed and sleeved the frame...Draglink done...When I was in there ..I decided to flip the front springs ..So this caused some clearence issues with the steering arm..So.I moved the box back and changed the angle...All I had to do was flip the top shock tower bolt for the shocks to line up...All I have to do now is build the pump brackets and get the driveline done...Too much fun...Here are some pics I took this morning!
Last one...
..I'm still trying to find a wide groove pully too!!..Ford has them off of one ton trucks and vans with 460 engines..The want $40 ...Hopefully I can find one at a wrecking yard!

I was wondering when you would get this done.
Did you go Hydro assist?
NO...Not yet!!...I am going to see how this goes first...Build beefier tie rod and draglink..Then go hydro!!...Working out of town 13-14 hours a day takes alot out of me!

Wimp,
You know that getting the cruiser done and wheelable is the primary object of your life right now ;)
(It does look really good when I get mine done and it cools off around here we'll have to hook up)

Looks great! Does the pitman arm go forward of the axel or toward the back? This would work great for putting the tie rods behind the axel.

Only if you ran the draglink to the opposite side...
