sn0border88's SAS Thread

I was wondering what the point of cleaning and pimping a rear 9" and then a rockwell up fornt would have been kinda wierd.

anti wrap bar is IN.
tube tranny x-member is IN.

After 5 hours working alone, I got the whole thing done in one shot, flexed and tested and it all clears. Fawker weighs about 30-40 pounds 6' 3/8 wall tube, ~2sqft 1/4 plate, 1 1/4" solid bar and quite a bit of welding.

No, its not going to break. :D

Pics tomorrow.
 






BEEF:eek:
 






And with this, I announce the retirement of emily rose.

Rear main seal is going, tranny is going, body is in bad shape, bent another leaf spring, ect. I dont want 4 doors, I dont want 4 seats. I dont want front leafs, I dont want leafs at all. I have realized that this truck will not hold up to my pissed off hillbilly driving style, and its simply not worth the effort needed to make it do so.

I will have one last run july 26-27 then its getting dismantled and sent to the scrapper. Axles and tires will be sold/traded for 1 tons.

New project will be a pickup, either a 60's willys or a MJ
 






Sorry to hear that, but good luck with the new project eh.
 






Sorry to hear your putin emily down, but on to bigger and better, and in your case more durable things i guess

you going to be doing a part out by any chance?
 






YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PUT THAT POOR THING DOWN, YOU HEAR ME?!?!?!?!!? She has been thru WAY too much to suffer retirement in a junkyard !!! ARRGgrrbl!!
 






So then buy it, 3k takes it all. :D

Oh and I made it home in 30 min flat, screw you google maps.

Im also waiting to get a set of 42 TSL's on hummer beadlocks once I get full payment for the tires. And im trading my 44 for a 60 from a 79 f-350.

Plans for the new project.

1960 Willys Pickup
351W with 4x4 cam
c6 with manual VB
203/205 doubler
D60 5.13 ARB/ 9" 5.13 Spool Full floater outers.
3link front/4 link rear
2.5 airshocks up front, undecided on the rear. Maybe 2.0 airshocks
42" TSL
Extended wheelbase to 105-110"
Boatsides/cage/bobbed bed.

But thats all a long way down the road.
 






I'm interested in the 9" axle. Let me see how far It is to drive.
 






Its official now, body and frame were stripped and sent to the junkyard.
