Project R15X

[DB_1]

Nothing worthwhile done today. Got the lower link axle side mounts welded up, upper link frame side bolted up, a real nice arc burn on my left arm and forehead, an almost crushed pinky finger and the pitman arm drilled out for a 5/8" bolt.

The down side is I have to unbolt the upper mount as the lower frame bracket interferes with 2 of the bolts.

I sure hope your gonna be in one piece after this build to enjoy your truck:

I'll survive.

Got all 3 links mocked up. Not quite sure that I'm liking where the axle is currently sitting though. It may look better when I hack some of that engine cross-member out of the way.

 

[RockRanger]

What don't you like?

 

[90ranajo]

I think its sitting a little to far forward. Need to bring it back some to give the steering links some more clearance. But I need to trim up the cross-member first. Otherwise its looking good.

Other than my crappy math skills today.

 

[RockRanger]

I'll take a look tomorrow and see what I think. Maybe if I am bored I will hack the engine cross member back for the needed clearance.

 

[90ranajo]

Sounds good. I'll see you tomorrow then. I'm gonna go ahead and say 'F' work tomorrow and leave at lunch for the day.

Updates?

Updates?

Isn't it in your garage?

 

[RockRanger]

Right now it would be faster for me to check on Izwack then 90ranajo.

And getting more and more sick of it. At least it is keeping a roof over our head for now. Even if I am rarely there to enjoy it.

 

[90ranajo]

Nope, been feeling like crap the last couple of days.

Speaking of your house, there's a mouse in there...just thought i'd let you know:

 

[RockRanger]

I heard. We have our killer attack dog on it....

Perfect, Bob will have his truck all done, but can't start it, because a mouse has a nice liitle nest of wire in the corner of the garage

...Don't the truck have to be road worthy here real soon???

 

[90ranajo]

...Don't the truck have to be road worthy here real soon???

Yeah, I was hoping. But there is just no way I'm gonna get everything done in time.

 

[Tbars4]

...Is there time for a build party this weekend??

...Is there time for a build party this weekend??

This coming weekend? Well, one day is reserved as a maintenance day for the F250 to get it ready for my holiday vacation road trip.
