The question is, Where to start? Where to start?
Going to do a build non-stop from the begining or a section here and a section there until done?

looking good, the only thing i would change is that you should plate the frame with 3/16 or 1/4 plate where the front 4 link mounts are welded to the frame. the frame on these trucks is very thin and those can actualy tear off under pressure. it happend on my toyota. is your panhard bar paralell to the ground at half travel? nice welding. truck is looking good

Great build, keep it up! Pics brings a few questions to mind that I have had for quite a while. Why angle the rear shocks to the center as you did? How do you determine what angle is best/needed? Last, why do most solid rear axles have one shock in the front and one behind the axle? I am thinking torque has something to do with all of this. :?

where are you suggesting i should plate the frame and as for the pan hard bar i believe it is weve cycled it through the motins and everything works fine just need to get som rims for the time being that will tuck under the bed so i can get the wheels to tucj so i can weld up the body and all

as for your ? why i angled the rear shox is cause i really didnt have any where else to put them that wouldnt enterfer with any thing else and we pretty much got lucky on the angle its set up to lay out on 20 so we just measured for clearance fo the 20 and that pretty much put them at that angle
