    Not Restored, But Custom Built

    Yes. The load bolts for these have a swivel foot that lands on the bearing caps and housing (at an angle). We removed the foot and ground the ends of the bolts round, and they now land on the center of the caps. We've also mounted the 4-link bars using rubber bushings instead of Heim joints to...

    Not Restored, But Custom Built

    Running the 8-1/4 on history of a friends R/T (440/6 pack), that runs consistently in the 12's. Weight and cost were his deciding factors. It's been under his car for many, many passes and has never had a problem. He also runs the same girdle I'm using. And we both also eliminated the "C" clips...

    Not Restored, But Custom Built

    Cheap, plentiful, and easy to narrow. I can get these for around $100. Got a friend with a junkyard that has them stacked up like cord wood. With the girdle, it should be able to handle the 440.

    It's Easter, But...

    That looks a lot worse than mine. It's just the point of the thing. People just don't seem to care, or don't have any respect for other peoples' property. I pulled the cover and brought it to the Ford dealerships body shop. They couldn't repair it, so I'm out $500. I also went back to the...

    Lets see your Dodge trucks! Post some Pic's!

    Thanks! The wheels still need to be spaced out to close up the fender gap. Since this pic was taken, we now have the steering column, wiper motor, go and whoa pedals, headlights, tail lights, gauges, and interior lights mounted and wired.

    It's Easter, But...

    No pics, didn't have my phone with me. It looks like the cart was hit which sent it flying. It hit the bumper cover hard enough to put about a 4" gash, clear through like it was sliced with a knife. Luckily it didn't take anything else out.

    It's Easter, But...

    Went to the store today to pick up a few items for Easter dinner. After about 30 minutes, my shopping was done. Out the front door I went, and steered my cart to the rear of my car. I loaded up the trunk and proceeded to return the cart. Looking towards the front of the car I saw the horror of...

    Old lifted dodge project HELP

    First thing I would do is clean the undercarriage to see what you're faced with as far as any frame damage, dried out or damaged rubber parts, bent or broken suspension parts. Secondly, check to see if you can turn the engine over (by hand if you have to). If it won't rotate, you could be...
