'90 Xtra cab SAS

This will be a slow build. Plans are SAS, 5.0 Ford, NV3550 and dual cases.

After a year of having my kit on shelves in my garage I can finally start my swap. The truck is a '90 xtra cab that I am the second owner of. The truck has been a buddies house because I had my father-n-laws '71 Chevelle in my garage. Picked the truck up about a week ago and boy was I made when I got home. While loading the truck on the trailer the ramp twisted and the truck fell off and the side of the trailer hit my door. The truck had only a scratch or two until this happened.

I was lucky enough that it only got the door and not the rocker. Got the truck home and started cutting. As of today I got eveything cut, the front hanger and tubes in and welded and hung the front springs to see what shes gonna look like. Man I can't wait. Here are a few pics of my progress and a teaser at the bottom.

nice very nice.
ps DONT throw away those upper a arms from the ifs (at least the shaft and nuts that connects to the torsion bar to the a-arm, the one parallel to the wench in your third pict. i will need to pick them up next time i am down)

No problem. I will keep them. If you know anyone that needs the diff send them my way.

Looking good mate I am at about the same stage with mine at present.

looks good dude. like the contrast. I can't wait to cut everything out from the front of my truck.

hey i thought you were going to save the a-arms for me?? i see them on craigs list?

sorry i copied and paste. I still have them put away for you.

A ford 5.0 will be bad ass :hillbill: cant wait to see some more progress

how far ya gonna move the steering box forward?

nice it looks great!!!!

Looks tits.... I like those perches :bigok:

I had a buddy that put a 5.0 in an 85 4Runner...all he ever did was bust R&Ps in his Toy axles. Too much HP.

:guitar:

well any more progress?
also looks like i wont be needing the upper a-arms.... we got a 83 axle and springs for free. thanks for holding them anyway. i will be watching this thread. include any hangups and fixes, shortcuts/lideas.

What do you mean? I have own this truck for 3 years. If you were eyeing it then tell me were I bought it. City and state.

Did you buy it from Phoenix or flagstaff, Arizona? Or Las Vegas, I dont really remember....
