got some more work done, not as much as i wanted cause i ran out of wire, again, i had to to buy a small roll so it didnt last long but anyways, everything just needs to be finished welded up now, i still gotta build the gas tank mounts and air tanks mounts, but other than that, the rear is pretty much done, also got the mirrors mounted but...here a few pics to enjoy











i love this picture

 

got the front end torn apart and iits about as low as it will go right now. the other 3inches its need to go is beyond my capabilities, also got the gas tank mount built, all the holes in the frame have been welded, the back is pretty much done except for mounting my air tanks and compressors, as soon as i can buy my own chop saw and sawzall, i can start building the brackets for the front

 

Is the front bagged now? I like the tuckin you got going but im curious if thats just a static drop? If it is than Im stoked because Ill keep my 14s on if i can ride like that on the road.

 

the front is ready to be bagged, eveything has been taken out though, shocks, torsion bars, sway bars, bump stops, so no u wouldnt be able to ride around that low all the time because you wouldnt have any suspension in the front what so ever

 

Appreciate the response. Heres mine at the moment but now seeing your truck I might be seriously consider bagging it. Man your truck is going be sic when its finished.

 

thanks, baggin is deffinitely the way to go, just make sure you do your research before you cut anything, if you feel uncertain about anything, either research it or just save up money and take it to someone who knows what they are doing. a lot of people risk it and it comes out fine but even more people risk and come out with very unsafe vehicles. its all a learning expirence and your never gonna learn if you dont try but you gotta know your limits, just like with anything else, but if you decide to go the air ride route, good luck, and if u ever have questions, obviously you can ask here but i always call max fish or suicidedoors.com

 

truck looks like its coming along nicely. you may want to set a bumpstop in the rear so the axle doesnt go in too far and take all the weight off if you plan to drag it. especially if you do it with the front up and back down.

and side note, i really REALLY want those small center caps off your wheels for my 78. willing to part with them?

 

my 83 build up*more pics*

got the air tank mounted today, i really like the way it came out, the only thing left in the back to do fabrication wise is build mounts for the compressors and the battery, which i need to find some steel plate, everything else just needs to be grinded down, which sucks

 

Looks pretty sick man!

 

my 83 build up*more pics*

alrighty, got the drivers side front almost done, i still gotta go back and cap everything so the strength will return, but other than that, just have the passenger side left and the front will be done, i get back up to stock height which is great so anyways, on to th pics...

i had to cut alot of **** to get that slam re-7 in there


yes i gusseted the upper bag mount, you just cant see it, i 4got to snap a pic while i had everything apart


no the bag doesnt rub my link bar, its close but i got it as close as i could


stock height again, i was actually suprised

 

Nice!......................

 

Nice work! Looks good!

 

thank you

 

damn man that is super low

 

well, i got my front end today, as well as a few engine parts, gonna be shipping my control arms off to bio kustumz to have some tubular upper made..anyways heres a few pics to enjoy...

the old 83 front end


the new but even older 81 front end, dont worry about that gap, the hood wasnt closed all the way


also got some chrome side vents

 

I like the round head light look

 

Looking good, the round head light swap in the way to go!

 

yeah ive always wanted a mini with round headlights so i finally got one, i really like the double round headlights so maybe ill do that conversion later on down the round, but thanks for the comps

 

should look good.
make sure you buy stock in bushings as you will be replacing the ones in the lower bars a lot..
and i sure hope that four link rides ok with zero instant center and prob no anti squat built into it.
but im sure you know that its not your first rodeo... but hey if it lays out who cares right

 

what is an anti squat bar??, never heard of it, as far as my 4link goes, itll ride just fine once i add some shocks. but thats fine, u wanna make me look like a dumbass then thats fine bro
