just a few things done, the passenger side is all assembled minus the spring. im just waiting on the spacers now.
the drivers side I beam just needs some paint and that will be done. the rims and tires are mounted and balanced. at first I wasn't too sure about the rims but once I got some paint on them and got the tires on them I think they look pretty good.

I finally got her on the road today. I am having some trouble bleeding the front brakes so I got a new master. im going to change that and see if it helps. the one in it looks original but it seems odd to just fail but I have almost zero brake pressure.

Cut and turn I beams are very common in the desert racing community, they work great as long as the cast is welded properly and gusseted appropriately.

il start with the story first. I was talking to a friend and he recommended an alignment shop, ok so I call them they said they can do the truck no problem. so I drive down their give the dude my keys and then mention I have different caster/camber adjusters and I got one of these :confused:. as I start to explain what they are he said oh sorry we only do toe, so I was like.:mad:cookoo:backoff

I then went to a shop in town that I normally go to for alignments and he did a good job. the truck drives nice now. I even asked him how it was and he said perfect it aligned great.;Sweet

I just put all the tires on and it looks much better. now I just have to clean it and I will be on the road soon.
