here is some pics of the truck I am staring with. Its a little rough around the edges but I think I will get the job done. It has a goo running little motor and the trans feels good to so we will see what happens. Got the truck with no title and no bed so it was CHEAP!

for the front 3 link again we modified the TG kit. just didnt like where the front axle was so we moved the axle so that the tires were about 6in past the front of the frame. We had to chop up the link brackets for the frame and reposition them and also cut down the link bars.
I think a pic of the dual case slipped in there. |

also on the front end we had to make a new front frame section. The axle was about 1 1/2in from the frame. The bottom of the new frame is about 1in over the factory frame. We boxed it in so that there was a good spot to tie in the panhard mount.
Got the supercharger, hydro pump and GM alt installed for mock up only. It is going to come off once the front end is finished to clean up motor, install new o-ringed head, new timing set, new head gasket and ARP head studs. |

started working on the cage. Dont really like the exo very much so I chose a internal from 4xinnovations (nice work). From there I am going to tie in a 3rd seat and start work on the back half.

Running your rear links off that horsecollar rear stock crossmember is kind of iffy. I think you would have more luck if you beefed it up a lot more, instead of dealing with it twisting, or ripping off the frame down the road. For the loads that the dual tri-4link will see, Imho i dont think that the factory xmember is up to the task.

I have a small rust issue on the inside of the frame I am thinking of plating the frame on both sides and making a new crossmember to mount the upper link tabs. |

Not sure I gotta rig move coming up sobi will prob be stuck at work for the next 2.5 to 3 weeks. I still have a lot of stuff to tackle on the motor once the fab work is done. Also still waiting on some parts like anti rock bar for the rear 3rd seat and some stuff like that

Definately a cool build. If you can get that much done in that time frame. You could be ready for a shakedown by mid April.
Subbed for an awesome build so far.
