Slammy Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Guess ill finally put a build thread up for this truck. Truck is from lousiana, was already bagged and stock floored and its in a for a complete new frame. Not gonna be anything too crazy, just going for a clean build. Stock floored on 22" Bonspeeds, Jag IRS out back converted to use CV axles with custom built spindles and control arms. Havent decided if im gonna build the front suspension or not. As of now this is gonna be a slow build, i work full time but its supposed to only be for a few contracts. After that i will get on this 100% Quote Link to comment

Zeusimo Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 What Rear End Is That? :huh: Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 That is sure a very interesting rear axle setup, converting the Jag to ?? Looks like chevy astro awd axles and front wheel bearings. Should be a very cool build Quote Link to comment

First is cause its the right wheel bolt pattern, it is alittle narrower and it doesnt use the expensive jag parts. Quote Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Jag IRS What Rear End Is That? :huh: Quote Link to comment
darin620 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Cool build. I have been trying to convince a friend with a 85 GMC to buy my jag and use it to do this. Quote Link to comment
hacked521 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 nice build, interesting choice on the irs. what made you choose that one particularly? Quote Link to comment
Slammy Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 nice build, interesting choice on the irs. what made you choose that one particularly? We just liked the inboard disc brakes. Also didnt plan on redoing as much of it as we are now either. Oh well, any IRS would probably have to be messed with to work. Quote Link to comment
hacked521 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 yeah the inboard brakes do make it nicer, thought about doing the irs on my 521, i just dont know enough on how to get the traction out of it. :blink: Quote Link to comment
Slammy Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Been busy as hell at work but was able to get alittle done this weekend. I had the hub jig plates cut last weekend and finally got them mounted up. I ordered a third CV axle since i had two that didnt match. So today i was finally able to bolt all this mess together.

Slammy Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Well i have been doing stuff with this project, just havent done anything physical. I designed and had these rails made and i have designed and have all the IRS geometry done, just need to make the parts now. This is the first part of the puzzle! I have some more stuff going on also, stay tuned! Quote Link to comment
