Dan:

Sooo jealous of the shop space!

I like the boards you set up to help with the lift. How'd you secure them to the hoist? Looks like a wood screw dangling out of the center block?

Nice work. I'll get there eventually.

Here is what I did. Just some scrap and 2x4s.

Well a few days of soaking in PB Blaster and the lats bolt for the bed came off.

Now I just need a few guys to help me lift the bed off and move it around back.

Any takers?

Got a good bit of work done today!

Started by removing all the rear suspention brackets off.

Then I removed the or "Farm" bumper.

After cleaning up a bit I got frame leveled.

Even had a little time to mock up the the front suspention a little.

All in All a good day!

Hey Dan I looked at your cab lift nice setup on that engine hoist. Looks like your cab is a little more chewed on than mine is. I think I might have to do just about what you did on the drivers side floor. Where did you get those panels from donner truck or did you make them? Nice work and add me to the jealous of the shop size crowd. My frame will have to sit outside tarped for the winter. Cab and boxwill kill just about all my space.

MadMaxetc · Post by **MadMaxetc** » November 7, 2010, 8:34 am

I got all the patch panels from Dennis Carpenter. I didn't feal like forming all that stuff. I will make my own for the Floor and some of the other parts that are chewed up.

I spent today Modeling a fairly acurate Stock 63 LWB Frame.

This is WAY overboard on designing a 4-link, but thats the way I am.

MadMaxetc · Post by **MadMaxetc** » November 19, 2010, 11:28 pm

Got some of the Parts for my 4-Link today!

Should look like this when I am done...
