Dale, we've met, I rode with you a short time at 06' OCBR and our pictures is in the BD article for it. All I did last year was ride with people and take pics., almost all of the pics that were printed was from me.

No time won't let me have it painted, it maybe in primer when I come down there. Trying to get the essentials done first, I'm starting on the family cage tomorrow and trying to finish the bumpers and triple sticks today "LABOR DAY WEEKEND". I'm doing almost everything myself, with the help of a couple of friends, including the body work and paint, in not going to make it perfect but I do want it nice.

Heres a pic of my last ground up, 1980 F-350 cab, 1996 clip, doors and bed. It has 9" susp. and 3" body lift. We made all of the drop brackets and tranny crossmember, front receiver for winch and license plate. It started out with the small block that is in my EB, but when I started building the EB I pulled it out and installed a 460 BB and C6. I built it abour 6 years ago and painted it about 5 years ago. When I put the BB in it I also swapped out to 3/4 ton axles.

I better get outside and get some work done.

David

I didn't get time yesterday to post the progress, I got too tied up working.

Here's some pics of the bumpers, they are a work in progress. Removable receiver mount for the winch on the front.

Cage is getting mocked up, it is the Trailworks kit. The rear supports "down bars" are cut wrong, they fish mouthed the wrong ends. If I have time I'll fix it, if not I'll call them on Tues. and see what they will do.

Triple sticks work, I don't like how far the throw is on the 203. So I might modify it again, LOL.

Rear brakes are installed, weld on calipers, 73 Impala Calipers, lines and shoes, 83 F-150 rotors with the axles turned down to clear inside of rotor. I still have to get the right studs, these are just mocked up right know.

I'll get some better pics of the triple sticks and brakes when I get it back on the lift.

Got to get back to work.

Heres some better pics of the bumpers and the under seat storage. I still have to round the corners of the shackle mounts and do some bracing to the front.

I have been working on it for what it seems nonstop for the last couple of months. I have had alot of help from friends, even if it is just to hold something in place while I weld of grind it. I have some more stuff done, the bumpers are complete and in primer. The torque arm is done, painted and installed. The cage is completely welded, ready to be grinded, primed and painted. The trial run will be this weekend at a local "mud run". They have trails and some obstacals. I'll get more pics soon!
