92 Dream Sled
 
Welcome to my world. Well I've got a 92 standard cab. Iron Duke, 5 speed. Right now it's droped 5 in the front, Mono leaf and 4" block in the rear. I'm startin this thread because I've been catching slack from some of the other board members "Dave, Dennis".

Well I dont have any pics of it right now, but will get them today.

Plans: Well I plan on bagging it here soon. I have most of the stuff to do it. Front will be bagged on SD upper cups, 2500 Dom II's, Plated lower arms and MMW upper flat plate arms. Rear will be done with 2x2 bar in stock hangers with bag offset infront of tire. I'm building a offset wishbone. It will be a slow build since I'm lazy.

Sounds like a great project. Looking forward to those pictures and updates.

Sounds good can't wait to see some progress pics. You may want to go with 2600's in the front they take less pressure to lift and give you a better ride up front, I am running RE7's in the front of my sonoma.

Sorry guys didn't get any pics. Wife got some teeth pulled so had to take care of her and the kids.

Also I have a new to me core support. I wrecked my truck into my fence. Well I should say it drove by itself into my fence.

Front view. Front was chromed out, but I wanted to flat the whole truck.

The front clip was replaced when it crashed itself into my fence.

Re: 92 Dream Sled
 
Thanks 66 it needs a lot of work, and it's going to be a slow build. I've got too many house projects to finish right now. And about to start welding school.

Old school S-10. :metal:

Re: 92 Dream Sled
 
I just scored a set of LCA's from Jason at SD. All I have to pay is shipping. This way I can go ahead and plate the arms and be ready to do the front end in one weekend. Then next weekend will probably be the rear. But this is still probably gonna be put off till next month.

I'm thinking I need another set of bags, but I have all the rest of the air ride stuff. I might sell one of my 480's to fund some other little things I need. I have a extra thomas compressor I could use as a back up. And my tanks only a 5gal so one 480 is enough.

I know I haven't posted in awhile, but I just ordered a bunch of stuff from QuilityAirRide (SD). I'm going to be building my own 5 link and got all the rod ends and another set of bags. So hopefully soon I'll be starting the build up.

Nice and clean looking. :metal: Hope yours will look that good to.

Re: 92 Dream Sled
 
Alright guys. I haven't posted on here in a bit. I talked to Jason at QAR yesterday and he finshed up my parts. So I'm just waiting on them to get here. I've decided since my truck is my only DD and I have a spare frame at my dads. I'm gonna grab the back of the spare and build my link kit on it. Then after I get it right and I dont go to school on Fridays, I'll have 3 full days to work on it.

I'm thinking I'll work the front first and run a schaeder valve till I get 5 link built.

Re: 92 Dream Sled
 
Your right Dave it hasn't happend yet. I thought the stuff would come in yesterday but it didn't. I'll be going down to my dads house in a couple of weeks to get the frame and welder.

But when the stuff comes in I'll start on the control arms at school.

Whats going on with the dream?:smoke: How's that school treating ya.

ruffrida2005 07-23-2011 10:39 PM

Re: 92 Dream Sled
 
Well it's still a dream... School is good, Haven't got to burn any rods yet, got to learn all the other stuff first. You know Metallurgy, Safty, and now i'm in Blueprinting class. I should start OFW Oxy-Fuel Welding next month.

I've been busy working on the kids playground so no work on the s10. I did pick up my spare frame for mock up, and got the welder hooked up and plasma.

Heres some pics of what I got. I got all my link bar stuff from QAR (SD). This isn't everything I have but will shut yall up for awhile.

Are you going with a giant notch like on your c10?;)

ruffrida2005 07-25-2011 11:34 PM

Re: 92 Dream Sled
 
no giant notch. I built these several months ago with no measurements. So I built them big to be cut down. I started working on the notch on the spare frame.

Re: 92 Dream Sled
 
Well I decided today I would work on it for a bit. I'm still trying to get one of my crossmembers built. Once I get some more done I'll take some pics. Then tomorrow I can hopefully get the link bars mocked up.
