Re: 8-9 seater shortbed
Finaly got my drive shaft done today! wow this sucker is long! I pretty much doubled the drive shaft length. amazingly enough, the two piece I bought at the salvage yard only had to be modified on the front section. the rear section (according to our measurements) should Already fit! so we shall see tonight. 75$ for drive shaft at the salvage yard and 156$ at the drive shaft place.

got to drive the truck over 30 miles today! so fun to be able to drive it! Next I have to drop the 21 fuel gallon tank from the truck and get the bed off. Shim the cab, align and weld together. put the bed back on, and drive. Rust repair and Drive! Primer, bondo, and Drive! Paint, and Drive! :) :burnout:

Re: 8-9 seater shortbed
Just figured I'd throw this one out there for you. I found this pic a while back and saved it. I'd be interested to see some more recent, more completed pics of it.

Re: 8-9 seater shortbed
nice work, I think it would look great with a solid axle, and 35 inch tall tires on it.

The first picture is with the new tires without the lift blocks, the others are of the truck with the new 285/75 16 with 3 inch blocks in the rear and torsion bars cranked.
Surprisingly enough, it doesn't ride rough at all. About like normal I'd say. I am Pleased. :) |
Re: 8-9 seater shortbed
Looking better. You need to get some paint on that beast. Even if it's primer to make it all one color.:)
|
Re: 8-9 seater shortbed
how much did you crank the torsion bars? It looks like they need a little more.

Re: 8-9 seater shortbed
I don't know how far you can go but I think you should try to get it higher in the front, it just looks a lot lower than the rear, when my dad did his he got it about even, so you should be able to get more out of it.
