    1/10th of a degree

    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.

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

    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

    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...

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

    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.
