Yea I cant wait to put the axle under it. Hopefully I'll start during the week after work. Migh be going on 33 boggers if this deal goes through

 

hah no mask, nice. paint looks pretty good

 

Picked up tires and rims. Paint and touchup and trim are all done. Waiting on 3 parts for my disc brakes. Hopefully will be up and running next weekend

 

goona be BA man!

 

yeah that wheel/tire combo and that paint will look sick

 

Yea I could of got 33 Swamper Radials, but the guys friend had these and I bought them and he bought the radials. I couldn't be happier. I'll probably repaint it dark metallic green with a tan bedlined rocker. That'll be after I do a 90's front clip and tan dash swap and new explorer seats. Then the 4.0. Its a project, but it's still my everyday driver.

 

Got the axle together and we painted the S10 Oliver Green and are pulling it out so I can start the B2. A question, is the caliper supposed to be real loose until it gets pressure?

 

Pics!

 

Did a little work last night. My roomate went to the bar so I had 3 girls helping me, mainly grabbing me tools. This is all I got done. Just need to make lower coil mounts and one shock mount. And longer brake lines, and lift the rear, and do rear gears. Then the lift will be done. Then I'm choppin the top, puttin on a ranger tailgate, making a softop, and making half doors. Then newer dash with a 4.0, green and tan paint, and eddie bauer interior. Thats all I have planned for now.

 

I gotta hand it to you, when I first saw the start thread last year I had my doubts it would ever be completed . . . but you just keep on troddin along, and now it's really starting to look like a killer machine!

BTW, love your color choices.

 

Looks good so far man! Keep it up!

 

Front is in. Need taller springs. Lost camera so no pictures right now.

 

 

Looks great. I want one just like it for mudn up at the cabin

 

Wow I can't believe I missed this thread. You have done some awesome work. Truck looks great

 

Thanks

 

Looks great

 

So what is your caster set at? and your pinion angle? looks looooooooooooooooooooooooow

 

Yeah man, that pinion angle looks like it's going the opposite direction it should be..

 

hey, from looking at the other pics, i think his radius arms aren't even connected. they are just resting on the ground. so thats point the diff down.. once he attaches them, it will rotate the axles angle up and be correct! looks funny tho doesn't it, plus theres no pics of it from behind so you cant see the arms when the wheels are on.

 

Welllllllllll, you're close. The radius arms are attached. The crossmember that I have is apparently made for a truck with 12+ inches of lift. I want to keep it low. So, this weekend, I have to make a new crossmemberfor the tranny/radius arms. But in regards to the first question, the wedge bushings are 7*.

 

Yikes! I would either modify what you have or try to find a set of stock 78/79 F150/FullSizeBronco radius arm brackets.

 

Making a whole new one this weekend. I didnt like the way that one was setup anyways. But it was a good reference point.

 

Yeah, that's never gonna work... The brackets need to come up 6 or 7in

 

Yea, I don't know what springs the guy was running with this. On his B2 setup now, he has 9" deavers. He just gave it to me so I figured I'd try to use it. Oh well.
