Re: Project Family Chummins

Well the tranny crossmember is done:








Then I moved the front axle under the frame. Its going to get moved right back out. I am going to have to trim the drivers side lower control arm mount (hitting on differential), trim the outside of the frame rail where the factory spring buckets kick out, replace, and then build new spring hanger/brackets.

The axle is a pain to move around since there isn't any steering links on it and its freaking heavy. I'll deal with it though I'm going to pull the engine for further front suspension work.



I have this whole week off and my goal is to have the front suspension all done and all of the engine work done (oil pan gasket, rear main seal, vacuum pump reseal, new water pump, set timing) Nothing too serious. I'll try to keep an update of each days progress.
