Billy,
That's a cool truck!  Looks like it came a long way from when you first got it.  Great fab work and I like the canteen overflow can!  Thanks for posting.

because of the shorter pitman arm.
it is a little harder to turn the wheel.
but with the previous setup
i had a bit of bumpsteer and if i locked the brakes up it would pull to the right.
yesterday i got it up to about 50 mph
let go of the wheel
and stomped the brakes
no pull and it stopped just fine.
those 12x2" juice brakes work just fine on a dinky lightweight rig like this.

yesterday i noticed my tranny hanging down more than it should.
turns out
when the motor mount broke.
it cracked my tranny mount as well.
i just walked in from fixing it.
ok
now i am done.*



*till next time.
