Nope.....the only thing to modify was the hub opening.

I would like to get everything painted and back together to a rolling chassis by next week.. We'll see what the wife thinks of that though

I know stainless bolts are available in a stronger grade (like a grade 8 bolt) & can be used for engine/chassis stuff.

The brake lines are from inlinetube.com, I haven't installed them but they seem like a great product and a few members have used them with good results.. It was like 185.00 for the stainless hard lines and another 100.00 or so for the braided flex lines... So far i have over $3000.00 of new suspension and brake parts waiting on me to get the frame done

Well i finshed painting my frame this weekend, decided to go black, and started the build back up

.. Lots of bolting things back together.. Still trying to decide what air configuration i wanna run. Anyone out there know how much space between the inner bedside and frame and how far the bedside drops below the frame? I cant decide how big of a tank(s) i wanna run. I'm thinking of starting witha 5 gal and a viair 480 and see how that works and adding another tank and compressor if i need... Anyway heres a couple pics of the progress...

Drilled my holes for the bulkheads on the front crossmember tonight, it looks good i think.. I have a ? for everyone, It seems like befor i pulled my front apart the front steeirng link was almost rubbing the front of the crossmember, there is actually a flat spot on the x member and link. But when i bolted everything back up its about 2" away. Can anyone verify how far away their stering link on a 72 is away? thanks in advance....
