Re: "Crewcab Jake" the 84 to 74 conversion

So life's been pretty hectic, and my time on here has been limited. I still browse occasionally, but havent had much to post. This weekend we finally got a bit of shop time dedicated to Jake.

I hate to say, but it was last year prepping for LST that we threw the rear bumper on at the last minute. Due to me using longer leaf springs, the hangers were in the way of the bumper brackets. We found a couple of holes that got us "close enough" and hung the bumper. Consequently, the bumper was too high to lower the tailgate down fully.

It was finally time to go back and do things correctly. Chris and I spent quite some time adjusting the brackets. I determined that I needed to modify the longer ones to get the bumper up higher. When we got done, it was tucked as far in and up as possible.
