Any pictures of the work done to the differential housing? FYI Dutchman narrows axles and housings. 


Sure, I'll snag some once I have it all mocked up (🤞 this weekend). 

Yeah, I checked them out, but all said and done I'm now about 2/3 the cost of what it would have been to go that route. Not saying it's not worth it (totally is!), but I figured this is going to still need fab to get it where I want it.

Still looking for a couple more. Missed out on a set of Big Mans 😢

Don't know if I will use this on ole blue, or the grump truck but I managed to snag some some hens teeth.

Did i miss it... does this truck run?


Nope. She's currently a prepped frame with the chopped for 8.8" waiting to be tacked and attached the Beebani suspension parts so about 50%ish of the way through?

Just stacking parts & waiting on my turn to get some fab time to get her back to a rolling chassis.

It's water cock and cock O ring. Nissan always gets it backwards and something lost in translation. Like listening to Yoda: Happy, I am.

 

You never heard of a petcock before????

Not dead just buying more wheels lol. Actual build progress though - there's room at my friends "shed" so my brother came over and we loaded the trailer and a bunch of parts up.

Got the frame tucked against the wall on one side of their shop and I'll be running the shortened Ford 8.8  and the rest of the tri-link and coilover suspension parts out there over the next couple of weeks.

Now there's tons of room for leveling and putting together as well as a lift I can sneak some use outta
