    Daanngg!! Plenty of eye candy here! If it's in here, I missed it, but what color are you going to paint this thing? It looks like you could pull off a really glossy black. :D

    Sorry for the delay guys , I took last week completly off and the family and I were on a cruise to the bahamas. Aneyways I finally got a chance to get back on the wagon today even thou I didn't get as much done as I had wanted too I'm still trying to get back in the swing of things.:D
    Nothing special here just made the cups for the air bags
    [​IMG]
    So other than the shocks the rear suspension is almost finished so I called my brother to swing by to give me a hand to put the rear 3rd row seat floor section in
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    I ended up putting the rear floor section in 2 inches higher than stock location so I could keep the flat floor when the car Is completely aired out

    I know a lot of this stuff under the car and frame looks a little rude and crude , trust me it not staying that way I'll just get to it all when the body come off of the frame and things are easyer to get too.

    here I'm just starting to sand and file between the fins of the side covers to get them ready for chrome . So again countless hours of work to try to keep chrome bill down.







    It seems like this build is never going to end :(

    I like the use of the "truck arm" suspension. Both my 71 shortbeds have the same thing and they ride like a dream for a pickup. Do you have some more pics of the install? How they mount to the axle? Looks good so far!

    Ive herd that from a lot of people about how great the truck arm setup is . i guess ill find out , but so far its done what i was trying to accomplish with it being simple and getting it to sit the way i wanted it to . as soon as i get some good shots ill post them for you .


    And to everyone else Thanks again.hopefully more progress pic tomarrow.

    Very cool wagon!

    You've got it all down pat.

    That stove bolt is stunning! You should just give it a coat of clear......
