Comanche SS Posted February 1, 2022 Author Posted February 1, 2022 Today's progress. Can't weld in the shock tower until the WJ master and booster are fit into place. So hopefully this weekend I can burn in this shock tower and then move to the other side!Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk
A-man930 Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 Sorry to be that guy, but the shaft from the column to the box is the intermediate shaft... the sector shaft is inside the steering gear: Anyways, carry on. Tight fit for all that!

Comanche SS Posted February 2, 2022 Author Posted February 2, 2022 So the front will be at 69" WMS and 84" overall width. Pretty on par with most prerunners. Finding a 65"-67" WMS rear axle shouldn't be too hard.Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk
Comanche SS Posted February 3, 2022 Author Posted February 3, 2022 First half of bracket one done....many to go. Need to fill in near the corner cause I cut it square like a dummy.Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Comanche SS Posted February 3, 2022 Author Posted February 3, 2022 that oil pan situation is a little scary looking lolI don't have a good photo, but I jacked up the beam to a near full bump and it was good. I'll make sure the beam is bumped before it contacts.Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk
Comanche SS Posted February 3, 2022 Author Posted February 3, 2022 Full bump oil pan clearance photos included as well we driver side beam mount is completed. I sure don't like welding the factory steel. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Comanche SS Posted February 8, 2022 Author Posted February 8, 2022 Passenger side stiffener is on, and cleaned up both sides. Next step is to get the passenger beam mount bracket done. Then control arms. Ordered the rod ends for that today.Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Pete M Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 plenty of us have been there. I remember when I had my 88 up on stands in the garage and had the bumper tube (not yet a bumper) sitting on more jackstands so I rolled over a tire and just sat there staring at the front corner of the truck because it looked "complete".

Ha! My girlfriend kept coming out to the garage puzzled and asking why I'm just sitting there, its tough to explain to non-car people lol

Similarly, I often find myself doing the "lay under the truck and dream-up/design things in my head" routine. It's hard to explain when the wife sees you in the same position 20min later... I've even fallen asleep like that.
Jesse J Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 that was me for the last 2 weeks. So soul crushing but its so worth it in the end.
