    Cool build.

    I'll take those front shocks and mounts if you still have them and want to sell them.
     
  3. Im sorry I already sold that stuff: when this project is over I will have some sheetmetal and odd/ends to get rid of though.

    Interesting double spring setup out back there. What springs and rear are you using and is the wheelbase still stock Model A?
     

  15. the wheelbase deminsion is the same as the A. The spring and rearend setup came from a 2002 chevy extreme with rear disc brakes.

    That is going to be a very nice truck.
    I would have done what needed done and drove it the way you bought it!!

    I kinda agree with the comment about the front suspension. I wouldn't want the IFS on one for me but the way you are building it is going to be a better ride and safer. Probably a much safer way to go if you are going to put some miles on the truck.

    I'll be watching to see this thing come together the rest of the way. Looks good so far.
