well got a little time today on the slick after getting other paing jobs out of the way. got the holes drilled for the pins and let me tell you i measured about 50 times each side before i drilled them off any point that i could find to get them right even took the ole plum bob and centered the wheels in the wells but i got it and its only 1/16 out so i think im going to be ok might just make the hole thats out little bigger and set it with the bolts.

Well if has been a long time since I've. Been on here have had a lot going on but I have been slaving away on the truck it's getting ready to get the new Richmond gears put in took the airplane gear out and went with a 3.89 gear with mini spool and moser axles also the frame is all boxed and l ran the lines inside the frame with the brackets made for the lowers and as soon as the Rearend is done it will be rolling again and ready to either make the front suspension brackets or go with the air ride strut bags as soon as I get the picks up and running I'll post them for all to see and once the shop is all fixed back from the fire that I had it will get sprayed incolor so that I can get it rolling and ready to mate the body back on
