Re: Current S10 build project 350 swap and 4" bodydrop

Started the blazer tank mounts behind the axle.



all tacked in place.





Bottom of the tank brackets will sit 4" off the ground when laidout.



3 link bridge started and tacked in place



link crossmember started.



lower link tabs i made and how they fit.



started the welding.


welding the crossmember to the frame. eric laid down some beautiful beads.



all welded up.




started repairing the rusted out cab mounts.






passenger side









shows the instant center pointing towards the crank of the motor. So far the setup gets over 16" of travel with only 1* of pinion angle change thru out the entire range.

Started the 3 link build. Again its different colors since im using only old parts i had laying around for the entire build so far.





showing the link geometry. lower bars level while the upper wishbone positions the instant center at the crank.

lower link tabs, just drilled a second hole to adjust the link angles if ever needed.
