Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side

Wow 2018 wAs my last post. I’m going for the longest project ever award!! Haha life has been Busy but it time to finish this thing 🤞. Also my dad has retired so the extra set of hand is very helpful. I will try to stay focused and get it done…so where are we. I have been working on it here and there but recently I decided to change some things.

Let’s start with a no limit back half

Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side

Nice to see that you are back on the truck! I'd like to come check out that back-half setup before you put a bed on it. Let me know when you would like some company.

I'm assuming that you are talking to me.

Will you be there Sunday afternoon? We are going to the Cruisin' Southern Style show in Marksville this weekend. I can certainly pass by when I come back into town, if you're up for it. PM me your number and address, it's been a while since I've been there.

Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side

Let see what’s next. I sold my engine and tranny combination because I want to run a ls / 4l80e combo. Anybody running a 6l80e? How’s that working?

I installed a high hump to make room for the bigger tranny. I bought the AMD version and it fit great. I used some nut certainly to Secure it.

Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side

No limit rear shock relocation kit on the new back half. I was really happy with the new back half. No limit did a good job on it. The only problem was it’s made for a long wheel base conversion so you have to do some work narrowing the frame rails so it will fit. It’s not a big deal the just to say.
