your wife is awesome, who cares about you, but damn i need a woman like that lol

 

do you still have any of the stuff you took off of it? The 2.5 ton stuff?

 

Nah, the 2.5 ton stuff was sold off to finance the last upgrade, sorry.

It spends plenty of time "Dragin" people around at the mud hole, Seems lik sometimes i end up being a tow truck pulling people out.

 

^ put a sticker on the side that says "NOT FOR HIRE" like some tow trucks have when they are priv. owned..

 

I will have to get some pics of the rebuild of my dodge. I'm redoing the 4 link setup to a dual triangulated setup with all big boy heim joints, 2" .250 wall DOM tubing, no bigshocks, still going to be on coil springs because I ran out of funds after buying a new trailer, but I'm going to be painting it and everything, also busting out the hole saw for some centers like yours.

 

Well Post them up already, dont slack now. Have fun with the hole saw, was gonna do that with the 2 centers that i didnt actually have to cut out, but that didnt work out so great. Good luck though and lets see some pics.

 

Nice!!! Love to see the Build in progress pics! I seen you at RYC, But I was on my sport 4 wheeler and you were out in the mud so I couldn't get close enough to come check this beast out in person lol

 

I have some pictures I will repost to this reply.

This is my '86 Dodge Ram D150, Hipo 225ci Slant six and 4 speed trans. The susp. has went under alot of work as well as the engine. Its been dropped a total of 11". 6" in the rear, by way of removing two leafs, flipped the rear end and welded up the blocks with custom rubber blocks between the axle tubes and frame so no nasty slamming. Along with the rear end work went with a new set of gears (3.70:1) and brand new Gabriel heavy duty shocks for when towing the racecar. The front has been dropped 5" by way of heating the coil springs and sorta "squashing" them with brand new Gabriel heavy duty shocks. The K-Member itsself sits 4" from the pavement.

The engine has been torn down completley. Its a '71 Hipo Slant 6 from a Dart. The block has been decked, the head was gasket matched, decked and equipped with 340 Demon race valves and double pac valvsprings. 1.7 Harland Sharp roller shafts were installed as well. The intake has been gasket matched as well.

The interior is pretty much stock minus a full Dual sound system(6x9s, 12" kickers and head unit). It has a full set of manual gauges molded into the stock pod, including fuel level.

Soon to be upgraded will be my exhaust (im getting rid of the dinky 1 3/4" piping from the manifold back, and replacing with 3" stainless steel to a Magnaflow muffler and a set of Boom Tubes from an old cup car), replacing all bushings throughout the truck and getting new wheels and tires. All of which will be done in a month (hopefully).

Heres a quick shot. Like I said I will upload more and add to this reply.








^When I first finished it. Looks a shit ton better now.
