I may have missed it but what rear end housing and hubs are those?

It’s a Schreiner fabricated housing and hubs. I bought their complete set up came with everything including third member.

Looking great! Can you post a picture of the upper link frame pivot?

Finally making some headway up front. Matt has the patience of a saint. I don’t get enough time on truck projects trying to keep up with kit parts and stuff. Anyhoo…
I wasn’t happy with up travel with the normal upper arms we use since this kit was intended for trucks with no a/c, so we made some kinds odd looking uppers and notched the ac box for a little more clearance. Here’s full bump now. It clears all the sheet metal at full lock, now for the glass.

Some more pictures, it’s looking good

Nice. I like the engine cross brace. I'll have to remember that one on the next truck that needs one like that

Thanks man I appreciate it!

Got some new parts delivered. A new stock steering wheel to get rid of the crusty one on there. Also some new seat covers for the driver seat. Might need to add some foam but will figure that out once I get the seat out of the truck.

@NODNARB has been hard at work making space under the hood. All the small tedious things.

Thanks man much appreciated! It’s getting pretty close!

A little before and after, fixed some of springs and rods under the cushion too.

Front end is about complete! Dropped off a new speed sensor so @NODNARB can figure out tone ring location for the stock speedometer. Pretty bummed to hear advanced fiberglass stopped producing the baker fenders

No way!! Glad I got mine 2 years ago. Did you call them and ask? Interested in tone ring setup

Seriously me too! Had someone on IG tell me they’re discontinued and supposedly the molds got damaged. I’ll post pictures once they get it figured out
