Starting my SAS on my 87 Bronco 2. Then I'm doing my free 2wd 98 Ranger. I got free rear 4.10s from work. And I picked up a 74 Bronco D44 with 4.10s and radius arms for $200. 33x10.50-15 BFG M/Ts with 95% tread for $220. Should have the brakes converted to disc by next week. Still need coils. Ordered DOM and heims to make steering and trac bar. Need batterys for camera so I can get pics. And we're doing my roommates S10 with the waggy D44s from my old 93 SAS Ranger whenever he gets gears.

 

sounds like you got a lot of work ahead of you!

 

good luck man!!

 

All axles are cleaned up, taken apart, sandblasted, and painted. My EB D44 is waiting on disc brakes. The Waggy D44 and AMC 20 are waiting on new brakes and 4.88s.Sandblasted and painted radius arms metallic dark siver. Ordered 7* 14 piece bushing set too. Might go get 4" EB lift springs tomorrow.

 

Picked up both disc brake knuckles, calipers, 4" coil springs, hubs/rotors, 1 caliper bracket(still need one bad), and a dropped radius arm crossmember mount. All for $100. Just need spindles and passenger caliper bracket. Axle is cleaned, blasted, painted, and put together up to the knuckles.

 

Got my spindles and caliper brackets on the way. Got free Alcoas off of a 96 F150, and free aluminum DeeZee brushguard. About to start on the patch panels for the quarter. Hopefully paint it tomorrow. I'm going with Massey Ferguson Metallic Grey.

The trucks.





The B2 front suspension, wheels and tire setup






The S10 axles

 

youre crazy.

 

Yea I know. Anywho, it got dark so this is all I got done. Pretty much self explanitory. This is my first attempt ever at any type of body work so I figured I'd practice on my trail truck. Got the panels free at work off a Ranger.







And the other side I need to start on. Might pull into the shop and finish it tonight so I can bondo and paint tomorrow.

 

nice start...lots of axles..

 

Not to mention the 14 bolt and 3/4 ton D44 behind the shop

I'm painting tomorrow. Half done sanding. Thinking of duralining the rocker, so I did it real quick to see how it looks. I think I'll keep it. Steerings as far along as I can get without putting it under the truck.

edit, nvr mind....didnt read enough.

Truck is painted. Waiting for it to dry

 

 

Nice progress man! Are you bed lining the bottom of the cab on the b2?
