Here's an update showing the heim joins in with the ladder bars. now I need to figure out where the shocks go, any ideas?

A view from the rear would be very helpful.

LSJUNIPER · 01-14-2019, 06:03 PM

Ok, here are the pics.

Just curious as to why you stayed with the banjo rear end, every thing looks great. And well done. Al

Yes, I like the look. I did send it to Hot Rod Works to have them do the axle conversion. Old look on the outside, modern on the inside.

Most often done for the "look".

I'm a fan of the 9in conversions. I have one with a quick change center section I built up, really like the look.

I like the look of the quick change axles too.

Looks like you have the bases covered. Al

I received this picture from the Boling Brothers showing how to set up the shocks on my set-up. Also they gave me a brief description on how to set the shock in place.

LSJUNIPER · 02-09-2019, 02:05 PM

Rear shocks are setup.

LSJUNIPER · 11-22-2019, 11:51 AM

Small update here. Test fitting the body onto the frame.

What’s not to like, or love?!?!

mfirth · 11-25-2019, 07:36 AM

Yup, THAT IS NICE !!!

Great looking rig! how much chop do you have in that? I was going to chop mine but never got around to it before I put it together. Now I’m kind of glad I didn’t as I am 6 foot and don’t have a lot of headroom in it.
If I did chop, it would not be more than an inch and a half to 2 inches.
