Well i got some work done today!!



This is part of the original spring hanger that we decided to reuse




A spacer was added to allow us to have the proper width to mount the springs to the frame



The springs hanging own their own!! Gotta move the rear spring hangers forward to allow for proper angle thinking bout maybe running a double shackle setup.. dunno yet i gotta do some research



Ill have some small clearance issues if i choose to run a double shackle set up nothing a cutting wheel wont fix



Well heres a quick pic of the 350 have not had one of those yet

And finally

Welding cart



Welder

Nice, oh, I forgot to compliment you on your Miller welder, thats a sweet looking setup!
, i really like the cart too, it looks like it will pull easy across any terrian with those big tires! I really want to get a miller someday so I can quit attempting to weld 1/4" thick steel with my 110v Lincoln, LOL.

Nice,I think im going to look into it this winter.So the t case/trans mount on your truck is almost the same as mine.I found that a 5 speed jeep cherokee mounts up perfect with just a little mod to the crossmember,may help later.

So the cherokee mounts to the tranny and case right but needs a little mod to mount to frame?

Exactly.I went to the autoparts looking for a mount, they said ” duhhh” I have had a few cherokees.I thought it looked similar, like one would work.So I got one, it was perfect.Ill go take a pic.

The sending unit has a deal where when the float in your tank goes up with the fuel level,it gives more/less resistance to the gague= more/less fuel.Your sending unit should have a ohms range.I dont know what it is,but thats how it works.
