Project Lazyboy SAS...

lookin good man, working fast per usual



i think TNT wants you to build him a new rear bumper

Thanks

And yes that has been on the discussion table. Might have to get the ball rolling on that here soon. Already have one drawn up in my mind. I designed the whole front suspension for Lazy in my mind last night just need some time to get going on it.

Got my 78 High Pinion 44 with weld on wedges ready to begin(and yes it came from 78 square head light truck Ford apparently used some weld on axles until they ran out and went cast)!

 

[kanuck15]

That is correct. The 78s were a mixed year. Are you cutting the wedges off or going to use them?

Cut them off already have a link setup for it.

3 link? like double r?

Not really a 3 link. A true 3 link actually connects 3 points to the frame. Double R, Merc, and TNT all used radius arms with an adjustable single upper off driver side lower. I am doing the same on Lazy but it will be heavier duty setup then I did on previous builds. I might start the 44 today if I have time.

Im tuned in for the steering setup i need to study some more.....

 

[Stang5lgt]

On hold right now. I was hoping my new wheels would have shipped by now but they are still on BO. I might try and pick up some rollers for the front so I can get going on it. We will see.

 

[spoolin]

Incredible.

 

[Stang5lgt]

So the wheels got pushed back another month on BO. I don't want to take a chance they will do it again so I am cancelling the order and find something else. Pretty annoying cause they wasted almost 3 weeks of my time waiting for those wheels only to tell me it will be another month.

 

[00whxploder]

Well that suck what wheels where you going with?

 

[Stang5lgt]

They were just some matte black steelies. Going to order different ones later this week.

 

[Stang5lgt]

Ordered another set that was in stock so I should have those on Monday. But we start packing next week. Closing on the new house on the 29th. Not sure how much I will get done if anything on the Linc before then.

 

[Stang5lgt]

Wheels showed!!!

 

[cmhaah06]

Nice! I have the soft 8's also they're a good lookin wheel.

 

[Stang5lgt]

They seemed like the logical choice that way when I wheel the Lincoln I don't have to worry about rock rash tearing up aluminum wheels. I really want to start but Summit hosed me on the wheels I am moving next week so I can't afford to have the Lincoln in pieces. Should be back at it next month once I get the new place set up.

 

[ProjectAviator]

So you took my ideas. LOL. I like it. I just don't have the aviator to do it too, yet.

What T-case are you planning on using?

Tim

 

[Stang5lgt]

Not sure on the case yet. Probably a 1356E.

Shop is almost ready got the concrete poured last week.

I have someone interested in them already if they decides not to take them I will let you know. And trust me I can't wait to start the front. I want to let the shop floor have just over a week to cure before I pull it in there and tear down the front.
