looks like you'll have a busy winter.
those drum brakes are so massive. are you planning rear discs? you have most of the parts on your current front axle accept for the mounting bracket and prop. valve.

I have mixed feelings on rear disk so I can't answer that right now. I may run the drums and decide later. I also am unsure what I'm going to do with my old 3/4 ton frame. It will basically be complete with axles. I have a lot to think about.

Went to a powder coater today, going back tomorrow to order the color. Should be taking all my stuff in next week. I've got a lot of time in grinding the part edges to make them look a little better. I ended up doing the blasting myself except for the frame rails and a couple crossmembers. Can't wait to get this thing back together.

rear disc is soo easy and really not expensive.I got some nice brackets from ruff stuff industries for 50 bucks, then all you need are rotors and calipers from a 44 front. you'll save a ton of weight and free up some hp's

Yup, furnace, a/c, interntet, phone, cable, too much power, 3way switches to the house, interlinked smoke detector to the house, can you tell I'm an electrician? lol. That's a skat blast cabinet. I bought it cuz it was made in usa and seemed like a good idea at the time. It's a great blaster, gets a LOT of use in my garage. |

Took everything to the powder coater today except the frame rails I'll take Sat. Went with a similar silver metal flake like I have but using a new powder coater and better product.
