Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"
Been quite a while since I've been able to work on this. Bad back injury came back to haunt me. Seems to be messing with my hips for some reason.
Anyway- I took the trans x-member back out as it interfered with the routing of the exhaust from the cheap headers. I used the 4x4 transfer case extra supports that went to the top of the frame rail to make a new member. I cut the center section from the 2wd unit out and bolted it to the reworked 4x4 supports. Welding relief cuts are to come but for now everything is clearing and exhaust is mocked up and does not hang below the frame rails at all. Pics to come.
Axle flip is mocked up but I thought I better set the body on and mock up the fenders to make sure the PO put the front suspension in the right spot. No sense in finishing things up only to do it again because I THOUGHT it was right.
Oh and I have a stock rear sway bar I have to try to install with the flip kit that should be fun when I get it done. Gonna need longer U bolts it seems.
Anyone else still working on their 2wd conversion?
