You have done a ton of work on that ride! Are you planning on doing anything to the upper a-arms to get rid on some of that negative camber? If so what plans do you have? I really like what you have done on the lower a-arms and plan on doing that to my ride as well.

I just got my project up on blocks tonight getting ready to remove the old rear end and put in the donor. I really want to get my ride back on the road ASAP and have it running for next years Hot Rod Power Tour. After that I would like to put a Cummins in just like what you are doing.

Here is my build page:

thanks man! ive been building up to this point for 3 years (off an on).
(full-time) college student lol. building on a budget lol. AKA leftover student loan money hahaha!

im not sure yet about the camber, i was actually wondering about it the other day, but it takes quite a bit of lift to get it up high enough to steer, and at that point the camber is gone. the cab and chassis puzzled me for a while about bag placement and how to mount the bars, but this is the best way i felt. I like things that are easily replacable, i dont want to have to track down parts if something goes wrong.

Are you using the original dually front brakes? You should check out twisted's build page:

See the 1 ton single brakes he is using. It puts your wheels in another 3.5 inches, gives you some steering down low, not a whole lot, but more than you had before.

Where are you going to college at, and what are you studying?

You can run SRW brakes up front to narrow the track width but you will have to lenghten the stock arms or have some tube arms built 1.5 inches longer than stock....my track width is narrowed 1 inch and my tires rub the steering box turning now theres no way it will be very driveable narrowed 3 inches....can you post up some detailed pics of your EDC mounts i been needing to build myself one just havent gotten around to it.....great job so far sir

Yeah I have noticed people doin the single wheel brakes up front, seems like a great idea! I may try it later on, I'm just mainly focused on getting to drive it lol. I had the truck 3 years and never got drive it lol. Ill check out that page though!

I got to college at OSU Tech or some call it OSUIT. I major in Natural Gas Compression. Learning to work on giant cat engines up to bout 8000 horsepower. And learning about relay logic & Programmable Logic Controls/ P.LC.

Ill post up some pics when I get a chance of my York mounts. I'm have trouble lining it up with rest of the pulleys. I may try the 3/4 rotors later on, it seems a lot better
