Re: 72' Stepside 2 1/2 Rockwell Pond Truck

that looks really good,mind me asking, but what kind of tubing did you use for your link arms? is it seamless, the reason i ask is if it is not seamless it might not be strong enough, just my opinion, especially with 600 horse and rockwells, correct me if I am wrong.

Re: 72' Stepside 2 1/2 Rockwell Pond Truck

the four link bars are not seamless they are mild steel 2 x 2 3/8 thick. all the brackets are 3/8's plate. everything else is 1/8 thick ( all cross members, metal used to box frame, all of it is 1/8 ). the round ends on my bars are seamless chromemoly ( i paid like a $100.00 for 30 inches )

does it require a program on your computer?

I prefer photobucket for large picture uploads...

Re: 72' Stepside 2 1/2 Rockwell Pond Truck

When the pictures were put on there a year ago (hard to believe it has been that long ago) a friend of my wife was over any i asked her if she knew anything about placing pictures and she had them up in a few minutes. She did not use any other sites. I have been trying to get her over but our timing is off.

Re: 72' Stepside 2 1/2 Rockwell Pond Truck

Today I ran my fuel line, tranny lines, and oil cooler lines. They are all braided stainless. I CUT THEM TO LENGTH PUT THE ENDS ON THEM. TOOK THE HOSES TO THE LOCAL LUBE SHOP AND GOT ALL THE ENDS CREMPTED. CAME BACK PUT THE LINES ON AND STARTED STRAPPING THEM. THEY ARE LOOKING GREAT. TOMORROW I AM GOING TO WORK ON THE CAB. I WAS JUST NOTICING THAT IT HAS BEEN A YEAR SINCE I HAVE WORKED ON THE CAB. THAT IS PRETTY BAD, BUT I HAVE GOTTIN A LOT DONE ON THE REST OF THE TRUCK.

Re: 72' Stepside 2 1/2 Rockwell Pond Truck

If there is a cable with it then just plug it into your computer... go to MY COMPUTER and you should see a camera image there.... Your pics should be hidden in there somewhere... Just copy and paste them into a folder in MY PICTURES...

Re: 72' Stepside 2 1/2 Rockwell Pond Truck

On friday after lunch i cut the drip rail off my cab. I have it welded up across the front and the passenger side is almost done it looks great. And it is easier to do than i thought. For the application i think it will work out well, it will not hold the water and mud.
