Nice fab work :thumbs:

What are the specs on those rear tires and wheels? The tires look to be good sized.

Re: SANFORD build thread
 

I love the look of your last truck! Your current build is looking great! Keep up the excellent work on it and thanks for giving us the updates.

Subscribing to this one.
Love everything,... especially the TTO wheels!

Re: SANFORD build thread
 

Just a quick update,I got the new wheels on the rear,also fininished the front control arms and was able to air up the front bags.I set the motor and trans in,I have some clearance issues with the rack but that is not surprising.I think I will get the cab installed then I can get the motor and trans mounts made.I also finished the rear panhard bar.I still have to get R & P attached to the spindles.I think once i get the engine mounts made I will start on the headers and exhaust.Thanks for looking.Attachment 925445

You get down to business. I look forward to watching your build.

Re: SANFORD build thread
 

Looks like you need the small balancer and a small pulley.... scot douglas had to do the same thing when he used a rack .. should be some pics here somewhere...

Re: SANFORD build thread
 

Awesome looking truck that you have and had.

Re: SANFORD build thread
 

Thanks guys,awbrown I saw in that build that he used the smaller balancer but i figure since I am building headers and exhaust any way I will just raise the engine a little and fit it where it fits best.Thanks for looking.

Re: SANFORD build thread
 

Nice Job...Is your rack power or manual? I'll be watching this one!

Re: SANFORD build thread
 

dbomb53 it is a mustangII or t-bird power rack from advance auto.It was around a$100 bucks.Your truck is cool as well,Thanks for looking.

Re: SANFORD build thread
 

Nice work! Keep it up!:metal::metal::metal:


Also are you making the headers ?...Fender-wells????

Re: SANFORD build thread
 

Updates coming soon,Hardwaa I thought I would build my headers but I have a set that I will make work,They will be under the truck and full exhaust with turndowns just in front of the rear bumper.Thanks.

Re: SANFORD build thread
 

Got a few updates,pretty much have the rack finished except for the steering shaft,pics show the outer tie-rod ends.I will do final adjustments when I do the front end alignment.also got the motor and trans set where I want it and made a trans mount.Attachment 934272

Re: SANFORD build thread
 

I had to move the engine to the front motor mount holes and raise it about 1 1/2 to clear the rack.I think I will modify the bottom of these headers so I can raise them where they wont hang lower than the frame rails.I usually have around 20 hours in building a set of mild steel headers,so I will clean these up and use them.Attachment 934277

Re: SANFORD build thread
 

Here are a few pics of the cab on the truck,I did not get a pic before I took the front end off.My next task is to build the exhaust,mount lower rear bag mount and set the rear pinion angle.I will post more pics as I make progress.Thanks for looking.Attachment 934282

Looks great!;)

Re: SANFORD build thread
 

Super sweet

Re: SANFORD build thread
 

I love this truck!

I do have a question.
It appears your rack is offset to the drivers side.
Won't this affect bumpsteer?
(I'm no expert,.... I'm just trying to understand)

Maybe it's just an optical illusion,...

Re: SANFORD build thread
 

way cool!!!
