you think it will be to much even with just street driving? I do have a rear rockwell laying around..if that is the case..

I dont know how much tire clearance im going to have yet..I want to get the truck on the lift and put the tires under it to just see where its at..

 

Nevermind didn't know it was street only.

Continue with your regular scheduled programming.

I would make it wide as **** though, because it will have to be big to clear those tires without a dovetail/nose etc.

 

i hear yah -- i mean i MIGHT wheel it so i might not go so high..have something to go play around with when we get the duece done...but we will see...

 

UPDATE TIME


Well I finally got another DD so I parked the truck today..


Last picture of it on the D30



and about an hour of work..



axle is out..parts off..I got to cut the sway bar off and package it all up and ship it out to the new owner..tomorrow ill pull the cab and start cleaning up the frame..

ill have more pics tomorrow -- I always just start working and dont want to get my phone dirty with taking pics but ill try for more..

 

Nice!

So you didn't sell the 8.8 with the front? What's the plan for it?

 

everything for the front is sold and will be shipped this week..

the rear hasnt had any bites but im fine with that because I need a way to move it around the shop..so ill get the front build and on links pull the rear and push to sell it hard..then build the rear

Ive got dual 60s..46s..20s..coilovers...4 link front and rear..subframe..

only thing that Im in the air about is steering...

 

this is gonna be bad ***!!! Good luck... oh and where do u get all the cash to do this ****?

 

mmmm thats the kinda progress I like. Thats a badass shop BTW.

 

good plan. hope u enjoy single digit gas mileage tryin to turn those meats.. lol IMO sick yes... practical for street driving, sure....with a much bigger engine.

 

We're paying him

He works for Uncle Sam now.

 

haha -- I dont work for Uncle Sam anymore -- I got a medical discharge...

Im back at my old job...welding..Im certified in MIG, TIG on stainless and aluminum...when those certs add up so does the cash :)

Im going to get the axles under the truck then worry about an engine..I just dont see taking the 4.0 out when its got like 60k on it and runs fine..but we will see..

that last pic that is angled..thats from the bed of the deuce haha

 

haha nice Evan! gona be sick, but yeah the duece is a true monster

 

Day 3!


pulling it outside to do this....






I ordered a sheet of 1/8" plate to box the frame in..figured to pull the cab easier to work with..ill clean it all up..

ENJOY!

 

Wow dude. That was fast. That cab look cool sitting on the ground lol.

 

its weird just seeing it so low. I sat in it also..REALLY weird

also the pallet is getting shipped this week

 

Sweet. I can't wait to get started.

 

perfect time to swap in a new motor..commmmon

looks firmiliar haha

 

haha..we talked about it..but to much to tackle at one point..

 

damn dude cant wait to see the end result!

 

whats funny is your 4.0 looks way bigger than my 5.0 on the frame.

 

Good progress! Steven must really like you, since it's at his shop! I need to make my way up there soon. I need to quit looking at these pics, because it makes me want a Ranger all over again. lol
