Brian D Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Well I think it is finally time to start a build thread on this one since I have started to get shit done. I have it all figured out on what I am going to do. About two weeks ago i got upper and lower control arms from beebani. I am doing the 720 suspension with hardbody 2" drop spindles and air bags. In the rear will be a triangulated 4 link with bags on axle. All of my parts will be here on thursday so I pulled the bed off today(with the help of my wife of coarse). I am exited and have the motivation to do it. I am also in the process of Builing the LZ 2.2L for it. I will update as progress continues. Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Nice. And good luck. How long have you had it? Quote Link to comment
freekwonder Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Nice take pics, I've been thinking of saving up for his control arm. What is the lower control arm? I knew he was making an upper but not the lower. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I'm watching this one. :thumbup: Definitely want to see the front control arm conversion. Quote Link to comment
Brian D Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I have had the truck since late feb. Here is a pic of the uppers and lowers. Quote Link to comment

Brian D Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I am waiting on bushings for the front end. I did get started on the back yesterday and built the notch, welded it in then plated everything. I think it turned out pretty good. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 You going to link the rear axle, and then bag it, correct? Looking good.:cool: Quote Link to comment
Brian D Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I finally got the motivation to go out to the shop and get some shit done. I got the upper and lower control arms mounted and I am waiting to get my friends plasma cutter to notch for the bags in the front. I got the 2x3 box welded in for the stock floor body drop. now that i have the frame fliped over I can box and gusset the bottom and move on to building the tranny crossmember and the crossmember for the driveline and the rear 4 link.

Brian D Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Got the frame flipped over and started boxing in the bottom of the rails yesterday. One side done hopefully I can get the other done in the next couple of days. I used 2x3 box steel with 3/16 side wall for the frame rails. I was able to lay it on it's side. This way I will be able to keep my stock floor height minus the hump for the drive line which will be a little bit taller. Quote Link to comment
