ben shadys truck

oooooohw pretty welds great job , curious how you going to do the whatslink or that other swaybar thing
the bags and there mounting seem to be a bit in the way for that now

them are some putry welds there

got to say the weis.... master can throw down some sweet molten metal...

Can't argue with that...lol. I'm getting back onto it this week...shitty part is that I have some shocks, and 8 valves here waiting to go in, just not another schrader valve...the whole ass end is still temporary.

I'm surprised Duck would be running the ass end of his "T'ed" up?

I NEED TO WORK ON MY TRUCKS or just post some pictures so it looks like Ive been working on them

^^^ just fake it gotta do what ya gotta do lil buddy

yea well I went on a spending spree and bought spindles springs hangers to do a little drop on the black truck along with new roters steering box and a few other goodies but I haven't had time to work on it other then change the oil so I'm about to pay some one to do it

Well the weekend is over so figured I'd log on and give everyone an update on what we did this weekend. We mocked up an upper bag mount out of C Channel but it just didn;t look too great and it was gonna hit on the lower bag mount side plate. Sooooo.. We decided to do the upper mounts and the gooseneck hitch outta tube.....

So here's a couple pic's of the build.. It took 16hrs to get it all built but I think it turned out pretty good..

Drilling the frame...



Pilot holes



I think the final size was 27/64's



Tapping the frame..



Little bit of tubing..



My Homies



1/2" Fine threaded bolts





An anchor or 2....



Starting the tubing work



The center tubing



Starting the rear part



More tubing



All tacked together



Side view



Welding it all together



The ball mount





From the front




So whatcha think?

Still gotta connect the upper bag plates with some tube and finish welding it. Then it's time to plate the frame in front of the notch and put the wishbone in and mount the shocks..

holy crap balls my friend that is killer work....

WOW! thats alot of tubing
