haha, ok so this really isn't my rig lol. It's a friend of mine. Just wanted to fool Mike, but I guess I got Shahzad too. ahahahahahaha ok i'm a loser

But really, it is an awesome rig. I'll post the progess he puts into it.

The best thing he, is parts out vehicles as well (for example, we just went and bought an 85 toy pickup for 300 bucks) and the axles alone are worth 300. So he's funding this entire project just from parting out vehicles, none of it is coming out of his pocket.

Talking

cool project! looks like the frame could use a good sanding & repainting though to keep some of that rust off.

Hey Rob...

It's SKOOL TIME...

IFS = Independent FRONT Suspension = I.E. uses a differential mounted to the frame with flexible CV Shafts for axles. Also, if you'll look at the NAME, it's on the FRONT.

That pic is of a SOLID AXLE rear with a 4-link Coil Suspension...

lol...

don't forget to pay your teacher for the lesson...

oh, and sweet buildup BTW.

When I said IFS Rear, that means it was a rear axle out of an IFS truck. After 85' the rear axles that came with the IFS trucks were 3.5-4" wider. Sorry for the confusion, I know what IFS means -_-
