87 Mazda B2000 project, DONE!!!

It had struts? truck clean man!

Got the leaf hangers off and framed cleaned up. Moved the rear frame up 3 1/2" behind the cab. Gutted most of the interior. Took the windows out. I will still have to notch the frame 3", but with the 20's a bridge would have looked too big for me. So I got 3 1/2" out of moving the frame up and 3" of a c-notch for a total of 6 1/2" higher above the axle. I will be gusseting the step in the frame obviously. I didn't have any 3/16" plate, so that will have to happen next week, unless a buddy has some I can pick up tonight. I am incorporating the lower link mounts into the gusset. Should look pretty cool when it is done. Also I took the seats apart so I can get them to a buddy out of town to get them wrapped.

Also, if someone could help me out with a measurement. This may be tough to explain, but I will give it a try. I moved the rear frame up right behind the cab. So I had to place jacks under the far rear corners. I jacked it up, and got it where it should be. It may be right, but it looks too low at the very back. Maybe I am just being peranoid, but if someone could measure their bed mounts from the ground to the where it touches the bed, I would appreciate it. It would really be cool if your truck was laying the same as mine right now. Laying frame in the back, right before it turns to go up, and laying front crossmember. It will put me back to sane again. If no one can get a good measurement, I guess I could put the bed back on it and make sure the cab to bed gap is good. Thanks.

wired up the switches...

thats alot of friggin wires ...

nice truck tho

ha, not really. a 2pump 4 dump is easy compared to some other setups. Like a 1 pump 8 dump. Plus it is only 4 switches...throw in 4 corners, pancake, seesaw, around the world, opposite corners, ect... you get the point. It can get way more complicated.

digging the wheels.... this will be a bitchin truck tuckin 20" tri's and juice.... whats the plans for paint?

black. straight up, inside and out.

today's update.... Got the dash out. Got everything behind the dash out. Started cutting out the inner fenders. I cut the firewall out also with the inner fender. I am going to try and do somthing different than the standard trailor wheel tubs. I guess we will see what it loks like after I finish.

I'm not sure if you still need the bed mount measurements, but if you do this should help.
