Looking good

 

Ftruck - The Edge sticker hasn't faded yet, and it's been on there for about a year now. pretty good quality vinyl, it hasn't even cracked

Etrevino, that top link setup acts as a sort of triangulated link, the two joints at the truck act on each other to cancel the side to side movement.

There is a LITTLE movement side to side, but nothing more than a truck with a leaf spring would encounter. just can't take turns at 80 like you can in a mustang.

 

looks great im glad you got them in! I should be next right?

 

After you slam your truck i figured i'd buy you some gold daytons and a chain steering wheel if you help me put the supercharger, cams, and long tubes in when I get em

 

I had a 64 on D's back in the day........Way back

 

Now thats cool stuff right there!

 

That's Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard
Im mad jealous
Im saving up....just dont know how much and where to go over here in san diego, my friend's nissan hard body is having some issues since the guy who did the drop wasnt on point.
You mind if i email/PM you? got some Q's to ask ya
And anaheim drew too since your close by
keep it up man its badass

 

and history repeats its self.........

to explain his setup its a very simple setup, first you have your lower bars just like any non triagulated 4-3-2link then there is the top bar which is the 3rd link which has 2 purposes 1) keep the pinon angle right and 2) keep the rearend centered side to side, which in a perfect world it would work great untill you go around a corner fast or have any body roll, if it were me id guset the crap out of the tabs that it mounts to and use a hiem on the axle end to allow some body roll

 

I woulda just 4 linked it, if your gonna go that far what's another link right?

 

Looks great! Cool set up. I wanna see some sparks flying.

 

what were your first thoughs after you cut the frame? lol.... id be like **** what the hell have i gotten myself into haha. your a brave man hope it all works well for ya

 

those were my exact thoughts... followed by " well... theres no turnin back now..."

 

I hope you're planning on cleaning everything up under there. But other than that, I can't wait to see some finished pictures.

 

there is quite a bit left to do. when i started , i promised myself i wouldn't let it end up like the mini trucks that are always halfway done, and the bed is completely useless because theres a bridge almost as tall as the bed rails.

the tubs are sittin in the shop waitin to go in, and the wood floor with stainless steel inlay is soon to follow. the whole frame was coated with Chassis Saver (better than Por15) in satin black, so it looks like factory from the outside.
