So it's been a while since I have been on here to update the build, the last time made a few post I was finishing my 6.0 swap. Since then I have made some big changes to the truck including home made cal-tracs, LS1 E-Fans, Circle D 3200 stall converter and 5 lug swap..... More pics and updates coming soon
The "new-old" wheel and tire combo
16x8 4"bs wagon wheels
The making of the traction bars. I used 3/4" heim joints with 4x weld in tube nuts ( 2x left and 2x right ) and I used 1-1/4 x .120 wall DOM Tubing for the bars, then I made a few different templates out of cardboard for the brackets, which I then transferred onto thin steel to make my patterns then I made everything from 3/16" mild steel plate and welded the drop brackets to the original leaf spring u-bolt mounts.
TIG the ends on and smooth the welds
Painted bars
