yeah you can't beat that price. called local mopar yard and ordered them will get them wed. thay are heavy duty per the service guy, used for their new muscle car springs. they still need to be weldedon thou but i can handle that bill

how would you get rid and why? what is the advantage? replacing lines after removing bed and i was wondering bill

hey guys going to soa my truck but the perches got me thinking need some help. do you fab your own? if so got any pics? can the perches at the local auto parts store work or is ther a donor application at the local yard i could use? thanks bill :hmm: :dunce:

it is steel that is pulled apart to make a grate. you see it alot on mower trailers and tailer ramps. it will be covered with rubber conveyer belt. when i took the old bed to the scrap yard they paid me for 300lbs of scrap.

well it is getting closer to completion its out of the garage at least. getting 31's wed and will figure which lift to go with. It is all tempted together because as i lift it the spacers can be lowered. the tank has me baffled it did not line up right so i'm going to fab som type of hanger for it. then finish the rest of the body. gotta find some expanded steel for the bed also. still only weighs 100lbs.

well it finally cooled off enough to finish fabing the new bed for my truck. Her are some pics, not real good. Hopfully it will be mounted on the frame today so I can get the truck out of the garage. Wife is getting annoyed with the mess. Will post more pics later. bill Image Not Found Image Not Found spacers for temp clearance till more lift goes on. Image Not Found[/img]

expanded steel like you see on mower trailers, then a bed cover of rubber mat from local tsc. clearence is good it is adjustable and will make spacers for final assembly the photos are of dry fit deck will sit 4 inchs higher but i'm also trying to figure out what kind of lift on the rear, soa, aal or longer shackles front and back or none.

cleaned up the frame and put a rust kill and undercoat spray on it. looks much better. :D welded the new bed frame and ground it down looks good to only weighs about 80lbs. mocked it up. need to create spacers side posts top rail and paint. bottom to come later when i can find some expanding steel.

i just finished p-washing and power brushing the rust and muck off. then put on a couple of under coats on it. looks good now. will send more pics. the new bed frame is welded as well. just finished grinding out the welds (how do you spell that, where's the spell check button 8) ). will post thoses pics in the am.

yes

i don't know i just cut and past

if you only new how many times i've looked at your truck :bowdown: . just can't afford to do it :cry: . besides mine is only 2wd though i would love to jack it up.

anyone removed the emissions crap form there 2.8l. if so what all did you take off and what adjustments did you need after? bill

To remove the bed from my manche? 1...2...3...where's the torch? actually 8 for the bed, 3 for the e-brake, 3 tank hooks and 2 exhaust hangers and don't forget to free up the wiring harness. I started the removal of the bed and building of the new frame. more pics to come. any suggestions on inexpensive mods for a 2wd, I made 2 inch spacers in the front. will be swapping the stock coils for coils out of a v8 grand cherokee, should add another inch.

thanks will try

hello, wonderful site it has helped me out several times. I have an '86 2wd, long bed that was a birthday present last year from the kids. Only cost $150 (125 was for the wheels). Love it been totaled 2x's since and they keep giving it back to me. Pretty stock, only a 2" front lift so far, plan on some other changes soon. Biggest will be removing the bed, easier then patching. Will send pics as soon as I figure out how. When the bed falls I will be getting rid of a cap, liner, tailgate, lights and flares, varying condition from great(cap) to ok(tailgate). So I will keep y'all posted. thanks bill
