Re: Restomod 72 K10 "Good Memories"

Have been getting work done. M14 studs and 14" Ram rotors installed along with caliper brackets. Axle link/shock brackets are totally finished and tacked on the axle. The right bracket from ORD required a lot of work to modify. I will be able to hit the plug welds when welding up giving more confidence in strength. Have a 2lb roll of specialty cast mig wire on order to do the weld to third member. Was pricey but safety is a number one concern. I made some mockup links from pvc to locate the axle. Installed the 2wd core support mounts obtained from the parts section.. Will get core support, fenders and temp wheels mounted on Monday to check clearances. Axle is pushed forward over an inch and want to be sure things work before making the links. Cutting them wrong will just cost more time and money. Hoping to get parts for tierod next week. Will get new steering box attached and determine what is needed for parts for it. ie correct pitman arm and ball joints.
