mklotz70 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 got her all cleaned up like new, used hacked521's box and my old shaft Did you grind a flat spot on one or two sides? ...making it a double D shaft to mount up the universal? Sweet arms :) Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Normally I think custom parts suck, but this isn't a part that is going to need replacing from normal wear unless you start dragging it around on the ground, so I guess it's allright. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: This part looks tough. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 That lower crossmemeber is freaking cool looking, not sure it has a good purpose besides a little bit of ground clearance, but freaking cool no the less. And i really like those control arms, completely different than seen before and fully functional. I have to question the thought of keeping the king pins though. I hate them, but that personal opinion and it is your truck. Looking good, keep it up. Any chance we can get some details on that steering box modification, just what all was involved. A nd what do you plan to do for the rest of the steering column? Quote Link to comment
