new '68 4x4! Project - Update 9/28

[SmokeyBear]

DAMN! you've got a lot of extension cord. You could probably run power to my house.

[boots]

both sides of crossmember are boxed, and the new locked rear end is in. Im going to tack in new shock mounts to the top of the tubes, then take the rear end out again and get it all painted up. The front axle should be back in by next weekend.

Beefy shackles

[boots]

New hanger is tacked in (ready to get painted along with axle). Started on the rear traction bars. T case is out too.

[boots]

The traction bars are going to be made out of 1.5" .120 wall DOM tube. Im going to use the stock front f250 shackles for it too. Still needs to have the half circles cut out for the tubing.
