    B.w.t.

    Hey guys -

    First time back on the forums posting in a long time. I need help in a bad way. I will try to fill you in.

    I am finally going to complete the SAS on my truck. It has been in my driveway not moving for about a year and a half now. The big rush now is because I have finally gotten sick of not driving it - I miss it - and also because the city code enforcement office has given me notice and I need to make it a "functional vehicle" - technically by monday. Also - the car that I have been driving kinda blew up on me so my transportation is kinda limited. I have most of the parts I need already - track bar, tie rod, drag link, shocks, springs, axle, pitman arm, etc.

    What I need now is help. I need someone who has a welder and some experience and is willing to come to the house with welder. I can def work out some form of compensation. My frame needs welding and reinforcing in two places. I also need to fab a track bar bracket up. I also need two tires at minimum to roll on, don't care what size or anything to be honest as long as they work. I can buy more later. Some extra hands will be needed to get the axle in place im sure. I think that the only pieces I am missing now are the lower coil buckets, hardware, gear lube, and little misc crap. I am thinkin that initially I won't even hook up the driveshaft, run a ring gear or axles in it. I can do all that once it moves under its own power and is off jackstands. Cooper and Eric have both mentioned they could help - anyone else out there? I don't care if I know you or not - I am in a pretty serious bind right now. I am willing to feed and "water" and whatever else is needed anyone who can lend me a hand - I will be in deep debt to you. I am sure I will follow up to this - but I wanted to at least post something up now that I finally can. Thanks in advance.
