    So. It has been awhile. Most of it was so boring we did not even bother to post it. That, and I was real busy on other projects. So here is an update.

    I realize I forgot to post the pic of the assembled front end. I am short a few springs here. It is all assembled with spring sliders now.

    I still have to mount/ build the brake lines on the rear axle. I want it loaded with the weight to be sure of where the line will go when the line and the rear suspension flexs

    took out a few springs to reach the desired height with. Also bent the steering arms and placed them out back where they should have been.

    engine is getting some attention right now. All painted and waiting on a few parts. Should have a few pix of that tomorrow.

    THe rear springs are out of the same truck as the motor/trans. A 1984 dodge ram mini truck. 2wd. The cowl steering box is rom a volvo 140. VERY fast steering. Feels like rack and pinion.

    There is a lot done to this. By the end of the weekend I should have the chop finished, and the tailgate done. It already has the bed wood installed with strips, and the grille finished. Also, changed out that steering wheel.
