I've had the truck for 4 years now and should be in the desert here soon with a new back half bed cage, a new 9" with 4.88/ Detroit/35spline, and some new 3.5 18" 5 tube kings bypasses to try and make leaf springs fast or something dumb like that.

Pics of older iterations of the truck

Decided I was done with 8.8s and started to build a 9". believe it came out of an 84 Bronco?
Built a simple rear truss for it and had Oceanside Driveline build my a 3rd and order up some dutchmen axles
Also added Drain and Fill

Got the axle all welded up and ready for paint. Decided to use the Seymour Stainless paint, curious to see how it will hold up.

Build Pics of the new "Backhalf" after I ripped the frame apart at hammers. Don't have any good pics of the damage, but that's what led to the new back half. Ripped right at the rear part of the old C Notch.

Bit of scrap plate on the bottom was the redneck fix to get the truck back to the trailer


- Upgraded to a 34 gallon bronco tank and desolate tank skid
- Moved rear swinger back 1" to get 60" center to center of piviots


Simple beginning to a rear bumper deal and easy end to the bedcage




Leaf springs are perfectly flat a full bump, 20" metal to metal. I'm guessing 18"-19" bumped and strapped



Figured it would be much easier to replace the section of frame rather than try and fix it


The new frame is 6 x 4 .250 wall tube I had laying around
Also used all 2" .120 DOM cause when has rear weight ever hurt a leaf sprung truck


Cut the c notch into the new frame section


Weldz bro

That perfectly flat leaf arch at full bump is beautiful! Great work.
