    Centermount snow ball guy here. Race trucks are fun and all but they are tons of work and require all the maintenance to keep them at the level they were built to be ran at. I.am all about building wazu out of the box stuff, but there is something to be said for having a street legal prerunner...

    School me on beams

    For me if the benefits of centermount radius arms really outweighed traditional mount I would go that route. A few more bolts to drop the trans is not a big deal. I will alreadybe pissed if I have to drop the trans.lol Based on the responses on here it could go either way. I could see some minor...

    School me on beams

    Thanks for the info. We will be developing our own beams. I was planning to stay away from a king pin set up but havent made my mind up. Might run a uniball or heim setup with machined knuckels.

    School me on beams

    Hello, my fellow beamers! My son has a 69 f100 that we will be starting a build on pretty soon. I would like to get some options on suspension geometry pertaining specifically to equal length beams, etc. I have never built a beam set up. I have set up quite a few beam trucks, so I am not new to...

    Casters for chassis dolly's

    Casters are crazy expensive. We bought 4 8" inch double wheel casters for our frame table about 5 years ago and spent like 4 to 500 on them. They are rated to move the table with a car on it. Anything quality is going to be $. Probably find some heavy duty ones on marketplace. I found some good...

    I had the flat top bedsides many many moons ago and wasn't a hudge fan. I can't seem to find bedsides that I like. 🤣
