    hello, quickly looked through the progress and looks good. I picked up a simialer case w an 89 model, the body is in amazing shape but the head was blown on the 22r engine. After long, long work finishing work someone else started 5 years ago, Ive finished all but the carb rebuild. Ive already reassembledthe carb up till the idle levers and thats were my problem lyes. do you possibly have some pics of how they are placed no the carb, without the notched bar and spring peice. Ive already spent the last 12 hours playing with them, searching for pics, exploded views, the whole nine yards. any help would be apreciated.

    My truck is an 80. There is a different section aside from my build thread that would be more helpful.

    Those lowers look good enough to buy from you. Make me some. Oh wait I'll just go to your shop page.

    Thanks guys.

    The arms aren't separate on on my site, but I will split them up for people. I am probably going to redesign the uppers soon to make them more cost effective. The sheetmetal style is just too much work to be a production item for a mini truck.

    Probably not. Have a rush job coming in next week. Trying to get the truck rolling right now so I can get it off the lift and make room for that job. There is also a ton of little stuff left to do, and painting the frame and stuff.

    I am clearly missing what ever goes into the other section of the lower arms? Sway?

    Edit: Thought a bracket had to be welded on for the lower arm also?
