Re: New project

Looks good

I noticed your CalTracs front brackets are on the ourside of the front spring hanger. Was there not enough room between the spring and the hanger? Do those new rear fenders have a larger opening? I see the flare, but they look like they have a bigger opening.

The Cal tracs are on the outside of the hanger . These trucks have a bolt in front pivot like a Nissan . You have to weld a piece of 1/4 " plate in to fill the hole . The front hanger is set up for 3 " springs and the truck has 2 7/8 " . It is easier to put them outside . They build a 3" split mono for these trucks , but it really requires new front spring perch be welded in .

The rear fenders are wider and will give me 1 1/2" more tier room . I think they were originally off a courier ( so i was told ) , but could have been off a full sized truck . They are glass and lighter than the gray ones .
