Got alot done today I got all the goodies welded onto my axle housing, Diff armor, truss, knuckleball gussets, I got one spring pack built, my springs consist of top 3 leaves 86 rear, bottom 3 leaves out of an 84 front spring pack cut 1 1/2 insh shorter than the leaf above it to make a 6 leaf pack. I got my front springhanger fulley welded in ad the rear springhangers welded to the frame, I did not have frame jigs so I made spring mounts and welded them to the bottom of the frame, I am going to run a 4 inch shackle, heres the pics
this is the front axle how I got it, its from an 83
This is how the housing came out, I was still working on finishing up the gussets, it took me all day because I welded 1 inch at a time and let it cool down till i could touch it before welding again, I did not want to chance warping the housing
My home made knuckle gussets
