I think the entire time they were welding it was indoors with the doors shut and the engine running lol.Yea ugly.

 

I have had the dom and the chevy tie rod ends with bungs,for a while now.I have just been to damn lazy, until today to jack the thing up and take the tires off so I could measure.I got it done,measured,cut and cleaned,went to start welding-out of wire.F***.Im dead in the water.Ok I got it up there and semi tightened into the steering arms,this is what it looks like.I think im damn lucky I changed the pinion angle otherwise my hi steer wouldnt have worked.It would have hit the springs.

 

 

nice, did you get a handle on the steering?

 

Im going to stick to the IFS box for now.I have not figured out a hydro assist system that I feel will not be destroyed.In the mean time im going to upgrade the pump, put in a cooling system.A guy told me to cut the bottom off the pump reservoir and add the mid section of another resivour with a welder.I think im gonna keep it simple for now.

 

It's looking good man! Did you figure anything out on what hydraulic ram you're going to use?...I feel your pain on the welding wire, I got half of my front hanger welded up last night & ran out!

 

I found out the ram is 52$ the hoses are 30 each.surplus hydraulics.But im not going to do it.I feel ill mess it up and have no steering.

 

This is the begining of the T case linkage for the twinstick.Have any good ideas,shoot them my way.I have no idea what in doing.lol

 

i use my stock 22re pump with a v8 bracket supplied by NWOR. My lines were made up by NAPA

 

As far as your twin stick . I will need better pics and more info

 

The piece with the washers is the pivot point.The two pieces of dom turn,the levers will come off the tops of these.Then I need to build arms that come down off both pieces of dom,that will have arms that attach to the pieces of dom that are slid over the ends of the shift rails.I have the basic plan I was just wondering if anyone had a better ideas.

 

This is kinda how I think I will set it up this afternoon,unless anybody has any better I deas.

 

Except with two sticks,one for each rail.

 

Hey Willy! .... WOW, what a beast! Great read thus far. Very impressive looking suspension.... BEEFY! Best wishes on the exhaust and remaining plans

 

Nice truck!

 

watching this build great job!

 

Hey,thanks guys.When the Chef says your doing ok,it makes a guy feel better.I got the internal part done on my t case, a while back for the trinstick.Today I built the shifting mechanism.It looks and works great.I took some pics along the way. unfortunately, my computer quit working and I cant post pics for now.Again,thanks for the interest everyone.

 

Hahaha... Honestly, Willy... I WISH I had your skills! But thanks, man. I REALLY have been eating my own nails over having no time to do ANYTHING lately! grrrr! lol. I have 4 projects, just stalled! lol.

 

Well today I made the final tweeks to my shift mechanism.Then I cleaned everything really good.Now everything is drying,so I can shoot it all in the morning.Black and blue,like everything else.Computer is still messed up,but im still taking pictures.

 

Look forward to some pics, I've never done a twin stick setup, interested in what you came up with.
