1/10th of a degree

[meandmit]

Just finished the drop on the M/M, and man this 52 year old is tired. Only damage was I hit my left hand with a hammer :( looks like a swollen orange, kind of missed the ball joint fork. Anyway, it's got all new lower control arm bushings, upper and lower ball joints, all 4 tie rod ends, idler arm, shocks, repacked wheel bearings, sway bar bushings, dropped spindles, and redrilled hubs for larger 14mm studs for the Chevy wheels, and for the rear a pair of 3" blocks and studs fit the bill. Ended up giving it a quicky toe adjustment to get it to the alignment shop. The shop called and told me the drivers side was 1/10th of a degree out, I blame the spindles for that...that I can live with. Truck looks sick. I will add pictures and part numbers to my build thread.

Now it's time to get "under the Hood"

For now (only has 91,000 miles) it's fine, I had to drive my other car chasing parts while the MM was down

[LSR Mike]

you poor soul, you "had" to drive that ancient mode of Transportation to the Parts store for Brake Cleaner? :-)

When you work on that, you need to call it automotive archeology.

Yeah, you don't go out and buy a part...you have to make it. I bought it in pieces at an estate sale, put it back together and polished it up...unrestored

The car has history, been in the same family, 1st picture is how I found it, 2nd is the original owner at Daytona Beach 1930...cool huh

So LSR are you going to the mopar nats in Columbus this year - not many trucks run like yours - it would need a Dodge badge to get in though...

[LSR Mike]

I could do the badge swap, but I would need a new tailgate :grinno:

You should see the freeway's around here Friday before the meet, Caravans of Dodge Trucks pulling trailers loaded with everything Dodge you can imagine.

I can just imagine. Have you seen the pro street 85 Ram 50 in Columbus - he is a friend of mine. He was in the Mopar nat video a few years back - extended front end with a blown 392 Hemi in it.

[LSR Mike]

No I don't know him. Send him down to Wilmington in April!
