Well all, not much of an update. Been busy getting ready for my cousin's wedding and other stuff.
But yeah, I've been working on the truck suspension. Got the frame cut, hauled up to the garage, trailing arms off, and about to get the crossmembers out.
I've been stitching the trailing arms together - you know how they get, with rust accumulating between the C-channels. So, almost got all of that taken care of, then it's time to sand blast and throw some paint on 'em.
and I almost forgot pics of the suspension i'm basing it off of:
It all seems fairly simple, and since I don't really have a floor to get in the way anyway...what the hell. haha.
If it works, it'll be great. I love trailing arms. If it doesn't, I'm not really out anything, except for the time and a little bit of welding. The added weight will be made up for in the smoothness of the ride and the traction, in my opinion. So, yeah.
Now just to decide between a 292 or a 250...but that'll be a while. First I gotta get this thing solid.
I'll keep you all posted.
