id like to see a shot of the bottom of the front hangers, how they are frenched in. reverse shackle i suppose?
more progress last night - I put in some shackle mounts
--reverse shackle? no, just the way it's supposed to be - I guess you could call it reverse if you are referring to a Jeep :flipoff2:
one more
look at all those miller machines in the back ground of that last pic. looks like a fab shop!!!
It's ScottCo Fab :gigem:
that should keep those 44044's a little shorter. looks good.
Last night I made some shackles for the front and mounted the springs to make sure everything was good. I also drilled the four holes in the back of the frame for the rear shackles and prepared the frame for the bumper. I made the inserts to go inside the frame also...
you gonna do some sweet reinforcement action around the steering box mount?
I'm going to use full HydroQuote:

Next up - the hangers for the rear spring. I plan on putting these into the frame so there is nothing to hang on.
Been a while - I have been busy with Vacations, work, and keeping up my other trucks - and selling Lynda's Jeep.
Got the T-case in last week - I ordered it in March!
Getting back into it - I re-drilled the Ford 9 axle shafts to six lug. Orded some parts to finish the rear axle. Picked up a 4x4 SM465 and a re-build kit.
My steps now:
1) finish the rear 9". figure out some disc brakes for it - I have some calipers, but I just need to find some 6 lug rotors that will slip on and are about 7/8" thick - Any Suggestions?
2) finish welding up the bumpers
3) bolt on leaf springs and rear axle
4) cut down front axle, change to 6 lug
5) shave front axle, bolt in.
6) drop in drivetrain
For the rear rotors have you tried the fronts off a 1/2 ton chevy 10 bolt? They are around 7/8" thick and 6 lug.
I had them pull some from an '85 but they were over 1" thickQuote:
