More updates...crappy cell phone pix
The plate welded to the frame was already on there when I got the truck. I added the plates to finish off the mount. Everything just needs to be welded up when I get my bottle refilled.
Also, before I forget, Greg, it might be a good idea to get a 90* elbow on the coilover resi. It's probly going to rub the cab a tad.Last edited by GREGASAURUS REX; 11-21-2011 at 12:40 PM.

Nicely done.
Motorsport can be dangerous and despite us taking all reasonable precautions, unavoidable accidents can happen.

I think I'm getting you and another member mixed up possibly. I wasn't asking about this truck, I could tell it hadn't driven in awhile

I love how at the bottom of this thread under the "similar threads" section the first one listed is Kung fu porn lol.
Which by the way I definitely recommend checking out, even if you've seen it before it's definitely worth watching again.-----

Now that the holidays are over and I am done replacing my motor and getting my truck ready for the MORE series, I've started back up on Greg's truck. Hope to have a lot of updates in the next few months. Here's last weekends progress:
Went backwards with the build
Welded up beam brackets and steering swinger brackets:
Installed and welded Autofab motor mounts. The right side fit perfectly, but the left (drivers) took some finageling to get it close enough to get the bolt thru:
