It’s looking real good, I say lower the back some more to match the front, who needs suspension travel anyway

Thanks!

It may actually go a little lower in the back because we haven't notched it yet and it's on the bumpstops.

We managed to raise the front about an inch without resorting to taking it all apart and installing the thrust washers.

Took it for a test drive and it rubs all 4 corners, not on the sidewall, just the outside edge of the tread. Next project is going to be fender rolling or trimming.

Finished the fender rolling. I just used one of his old baseball bats from little league.

After the festivities tomorrow, we'll probably do the headers and bleed the brakes for 178th time. I'm really procrastinating on taking the bed off again.

These Schoenfeld headers are giving me fits passenger side. They are hitting the firewall and the UCA mount. Drivers side went in easy from the bottom.

I got that sumbitch in there finally. I had to remove the heat shield on the cab, remove the starter, undo the motor mount, and remove the trans mount. Phew.

There's barely any clearance with the UCA mount. You can just barely see daylight but the pic doesn't show it. I may have to shim the trans mount to keep the clearance.

I found this behind the heat shield. Is it mine? It looks too old rusty, but I can't say.

Is that the elusive 10mm socket that the old folk speak of in legends?

I think it's a 15mm. I'm more excited about the wobbler if it can be saved. HAHA.

Too funny. I never lose my 10mm. But I’m always misplacing my 13mm.

It is now. Rub some PB Blaster on it and it'll look like new.
