Champagne dream

Shock mounts done, next is bedside mounts, playing around with spare ideas. Also got the sill plates in the interior and picked up some new front shocks from Tommy at tt motorsports

Finally got everything mounted in the center console

Been slowly working on it, rear is mostly done, made a flip up trunk/spare holder and tore the front end off

Does anyone have any experience with the camburg spindles? Camburg says no drilling required, but the hole is tapered, 3/4 at the top but opens up for the ball joints, not sure if it’ll be fine or if I should drill them out and weld a sleeve in it so it’s 3/4 all the way through

We run the same camburg spindle, when we had giant beams, we drilled the bottom hole for 3/4" I'd and added 1/4" thick by 3/4" ID weld washer to fix the slope. Only downfall it spaces the spindle down. Or you can drill it out to 1" OD and sleeve it with 3/4" tube.

Are those head set jacks mounted to the center console?

I’m leaning towards sleeving it with 1”, I thought about weld washers but but not liking having to run another washer up top to accommodate it being spaced down like you’re saying

Yes, rugged sells the mount

I was looking at buying those spindles and that was my question to them about the bolts. They said drill them out and run 3/4” bolts. Looks like that’s not correct.
Is the inside correct and you just need a weld washer on the outside? Or is it loose on both?
I’ve had good luck with weld washers on steering and beam pivot locations.
Sleeving to 1” just makes that end thinner. Not sure what’s better. I look forward to seeing what you do so I don’t have to screw it’s up myself…

Lovin the build.

When I picked them up at camburg they said nothing needs to be done. It’s 3/4 on the top and tappers to about 7/8, after looking at more last night I’m going to use weld washers. I thought about it getting thinner if I sleeve it, also I’m afraid if bits not drilled perfectly straight the misalignment won’t sit flat,hopefully I’ll get weld washers on this weekend and I’m going to box in the beam ends where they milled them out on the front and back.

 

[Thefuntruck]

Are you going to weld washer inside and outside? Will that cause the spindle to be spaced out and not clear the adjustment side?

 

[Prezioso85]

I’m going to put on the outside/bottom, so I’ll use another for the alignment side as just a spacer so everything is spaced the same

New steering wheel and disconnect, still working on getting the spindles on, but one issue I’m running into is it seems the studs in the camburg hubs are at a very slight angle making it hard to get the wheels on, not sure if anyone has noticed that before.

 

[Prezioso85]

Engine cage is done, I found an old threat single swing kit, mounted the tt motorsports jack mount, just have paint, plumbing and wiring before I can take it out. And yes I had to cut the bumper to clear the swinger, at some point I’ll build a new bumper for it, just don’t know what style I’ll go with.

 

[Thefuntruck]

How’d those spindles work out. I’m about to order them. Seems like only issue was the weld washers needed top and bottom?

Truck looks great. Going to be very solid.

They worked out good, a little work with the weld washers but not bad

Every camburg hub I've delt with, we have had to press the studs flat. They have on at least every set I've touched been angled in the hub making it hard to get the wheels on.

Idk how they don’t notice that, I have to use a rubber mallet to get the hub cap/hat off

I started painting the front, I decided to try vht since I saw on a certain instagram page that it was supposedly the best out there. But it’s horrible, made a mess and really isn’t that cheap for what it is.
