I was reading that on his site. I got the caliper brackets from NW fabworks sitting here. A 5 gallon bucket was the seat
Engine starts really well now, can't wait to get the brakes on and hit the road. Here are some updated pics.
Pulled the massive dents out of box. Still thinking I'll swap a better box on I have here but this can then be used on a trailer.
Got the inspection cover cleaned and painted:
Got the other axle spray bombed and springs ready to install. The rotors aren't too nice but I will replace them in the future. At least this axle has non frozen calipers, intact axle shafts, and lockouts.
Fender nut welded in and hood hinges and hood mounted. Notice how low the truck is sitting on the front stock non heavy springs. Tires are 265/75/16 (31 inch).
