A few things I've accumulated for my rebuild

[bad12jr]

Be a wicked autocrosser. It should look awesome.

Still is going to have a ton of understeer. That front end is too heavy.

 

[bad12jr]

Very true but fun :evil

I'm already working on moving some weight around via a fuel cell and. Arteries behind the rear axle. I'll hang some lead back there too if I need to.
I'm not as concerned with weight as I am with weight bias.
I had a thread on Compd about these things...most are hovering around 65/35 f/r bias.
If I can knock that down to 55/45 I'll be ecstatic.
I'm not just cutting a truck down and making it short...there's some planning going into it.

10-4 looks like you've Got your ducks in a row, if you really want it to handle well ditch them ibeams for control arms ...

 

[UNBROKEN]

Control arms and a whole new rear suspension are in the future plans...just not the budget this time. I put back 10K for this part...I'm already worried about going over budget.
When it's painted I'll be able to show off the one-off things I had made for the body...it's gonna drop a few jaws.

Lmk what's leftover so I can get first dibs

 

[UNBROKEN]

A 4 link with a Watts link and coil overs is definitely on the list so I can play with corner weighs.
That'll be next after I finish the main build. Possibly a fabbed 9" housing to lose a few lbs of unsprung weight. I think a 9" will survive if built right.

 

[SouthFlstrokin']

So your 3 inch drop hangers will be available? LOL

 

[UNBROKEN]

Eventually. LOL

 

[SouthFlstrokin']

That's cool just lmk, who knows when ill get around to dropping this thing lol

 

[patrickke]

Second in line lol

And a built 9" will be fine, 2000 horse dragsters run them. I don't see why you'd have an issue

dragsters run a pro gear also, not street friendly. A 9" should be fine if built right

Most of the tractors in our pulling club (mini modifieds) run Dana 60s because the 9" wasn't holding up for them. Mine was together for at least 15 years before I finally wiped it out this year.

Some other goodies for the interior showed up today. Moving up from 1600 watts of JL power to 2220 watts of Audio System power.
I know...you never heard of them....LOL

 

[jwlandry]

Gonna be nasty when its done.

 

[Dmstrucks02]

Can't wait for some truck and interior pics
