Re: SANFORD build thread

Nice fab work

What are the specs on those rear tires and wheels? The tires look to be good sized.

Re: SANFORD build thread

Just a quick update,I got the new wheels on the rear,also fininished the front control arms and was able to air up the front bags.I set the motor and trans in,I have some clearance issues with the rack but that is not surprising.I think I will get the cab installed then I can get the motor and trans mounts made.I also finished the rear panhard bar.I still have to get R & P attached to the spindles.I think once i get the engine mounts made I will start on the headers and exhaust.Thanks for looking.Name:  mr holder racecar 031.jpg

Re: SANFORD build thread

Thanks guys,awbrown I saw in that build that he used the smaller balancer but i figure since I am building headers and exhaust any way I will just raise the engine a little and fit it where it fits best.Thanks for looking.

Re: SANFORD build thread

I had to move the engine to the front motor mount holes and raise it about 1 1/2 to clear the rack.I think I will modify the bottom of these headers so I can raise them where they wont hang lower than the frame rails.I usually have around 20 hours in building a set of mild steel headers,so I will clean these up and use them.Name:  mr holder racecar 040.jpg

Re: SANFORD build thread

I love this truck!

I do have a question.
It appears your rack is offset to the drivers side.
Won't this affect bumpsteer?
(I'm no expert,.... I'm just trying to understand)

Maybe it's just an optical illusion,...
