Tube doors bent up today, will get pics on Thursday. ALso got personal plates :gigem: But I am probably the only one that thinks they are not :rainbow: :D
Still need a way to transport Bronco to Katmency?
For the most part done. I really like them, when they close, it sounds so much better than the original doors. Nice solid thud. Paint them tomorrow and maybe add a stopper to hold them tight against the body when closed (latch holds them pretty tight, but there is a little bit of play). After TCC, the area between the door and the front fender will be made to look better with a small panel that will probably be cut from the old doors

Installed some F450 rear shackles that I bought from Ford. They are beefier than the stock Bronco ones, that bent at Katemcy. I also put my old AAL back into my stock pack to get the assend up a little higher.
Steering and/or rear disc brakes next week.
What might be a good, cheap body shop to go to? I dont want much, but I would like the big dent behind the door to be at least popped out a bit, and I need some holes filled in the tailgate where the stock latch use to be to prevent water from getting in.
so what are the plates?
caseys body shop in Bryan, behind where the "new" fred brown car dealership is.
BGBRNC, i know, gay
Thanks Brandon, I'll check it out.
Did you ever get the old truck and trailer fixed up? I think I saw you the other day. Is the new truck pewter and 4x4?
if it was pewter and looks too nice for Brandon to be driving it even though it is ten years old, then yep that was it! I told him he might actually keep a few jobs int eh nicer neighborhoods now, they won't be ashamed to have that other truck out in front of their house...
I finished the tie rod with the help of Tate's chop saw. It is 1.5" DOM with 3/4" heims from PSC. Not welded yet though

bad pic, but it is big and heavy. The puppy liked the flashing light.

also got some new shoes, 285/70/17s. Got a hell of a deal at Discount in Houston. The old rear tires were chunking hardcore, and I tried to have them warrantied through Ford, but they said it came from spinning the tires :D

looking good John, yea that's the "new" work truck. 97 3/4 ton 4x4, auto, way to nice for me :D
Damn, i just found this old picture. It was once that clean :(
What would be wrong with running a drag link with Chevy TREs and a tie rod with heims?
I sent off my pass knuckle to ORU ato hav ethe crossover arm put on and I just foudn out that the hole that is on the arm for the d-link is tapered for a 1 ton Chevy TRE. My fault.
Also, 1 ton Chevy TREs are always refered to as 7/8".......is 7/8" the thread size? or the bigend of the taper??
Also, ORU thought I was crazy for wanting to run heims joints in any rig that wasn't a "full blown race truck".......Whats up with that???
Thread size... 7/8 - 18Quote:
