hans put his dvd player in the glove box so he coiuld entertain his daughter and get the ability to adjust the clock back ..... stupid alpine reverse compatibility...u can also see he put carpet in his truck and we spent a bout ten minutes ghettoing some material to my floor to cover the man hole sized holes that are developing ... nothing photoworthy just think junk air plane repair...

holy shit im a dumbass........ I even wondered if I had a reference pic when remounting the ebrake stuff since I did it wrong and obviously now looking at my pics I had one .... im a fucking dumbass..... mind u we just ran out of beer before we started remounting so we might been cranky to get a driver back on the road.....

 

 

 

thanks farmer .... but coming from the lowest static 620 I ever seen that's a real compliment

not real update but ...took a spare set of king pins/spindles to my street rodder machine shop buddy ...... rebuilt the spindles and king pins in a day and for a fair price...... gonna take him two other sets to do to after we swap these on to hans red truck..... cant wait to have a front end worth aligning.....  

 

 

yes all these lowering's and never once had it aligned...to be fair I didn't want the shop calling me telling me i needed a whole new front end rebuild in order for it to be properly aligned...last time I yelled at them ... just point the fucking tires in the same direction and put it at -.5 camber ..... I will sign a waver that says u no bueno my front end...

mines low as she can be I think .. im nervous about the 17's...may have to swap out the rear leafs and blocks to shorter blocks and less leafs ...th tapered blocks are so large that the spring plate is dangerously close to the 18 inch wheel lip so 1/2 less should make it pretty close but I have some 521 leafs I could strip down and run some 3.5 blocks and alleviate some of that .... assuming the wheels will fit under my sheetemtal  too ...truck will be as low just a different config

 

ok got a short list on this truck before its goon time....new years is coming and I made promise to have a roller to hans wife so we could move the pool table down to the shop where my car sits... gonna build a table top that houses the sticks and light that lowers down over it to cover the table and make another workspace

 

 

 

 

short list...

 

-finish weather tightin the floor

-carpet

-stereo

 

deal with champion radiator issues as I go too they are need ing to fix my shit ...
