Super Secret coming out of the closet

Got details on the 14b disk setup? I'd rather swap a 14bolt with disks into my 71 Chevy than try to find parts for the drums on the Eaton that's in there.

That'd be cool. No hurry since I'm not doing anything any time soon. I'd be interested in any first-hand experience with certain kits/brackets.
 
The Pretty Little Dual Cases

here they are in all their glory (note the rad shifter i installed) I had the help of Penetrode Offroad, 84Toyota4x4, and Ashes on this endeavor:haha: that was a fun night:awesomework: nothing like argueing over the wrong things and finding out we're both wrong, backwards and upside down:redneck: :haha:

And the cute little crossmember:kiss: ( I think it's not going to be enough so i'm probably going to put another crossmember up over the top of the front t-case

And the gratuitous electrical shot:haha: thanks Dad for the help:awesomework: I never would have gotten a garbled up mess if it weren't for you:cool: (actually it's true, it probably would have burned to the ground from grounding/shorting out on me if i tried to "wire" it in, I can "plumb" it in, but Lord knows i can't wire stuff:haha:

You might rethink that tranny mount. I could be wrong but solid mounting the tranny side might play hell on that adapter under torque. How do you have that engine sitting on its mounts?

I like the look though.:awesomework:

Oh no, that's not how it's ACTUALLY going to be mounted, i just got it set up in there until i can get some poly bushings to go between the frame and mount:haha: ya i forgot to mention that:redneck: plus i'm going with a larger bolt sind those are just there to hold it up till i get other stuff finished or get bored and go back to it. I have at least 5 unfinished "projects" i have to do and keep cycling through them because of the A.D.D.:haha:
 
Back in from the weekend

Well, i got some 2x6" tube and decide to hack out the rockers. I only got one done, but i figure you can get the idea from just one side anyways, i'm having a bit of trouble though as to how i'm going to support the rocker from underneath it i have just two spreaders on it now and plan on 4 more across the bottom, but it seems to be quite a steep angle (not very strong IMO) to attach it to the lower part of the frame to the bottom/middle of the rocker.:mad: but anyways, that'll be for another day now.


sizing it up.

welded on w/ two stringers.
IMG_2777Medium.jpg


just for reference the stringers are at 5 degrees. travelling up from the frame to the rocker.

spot for the front A-pillar toob thing to start and fender toob thingy to connect into...

It's a LUV body residing on a shorten suburban chassis:awesomework: i had a LUV chassis but decide this was going to be easier for me, but I have been running into issues along the way.

I picked up a stick of 2x6 .120 wall tube to do the same thing. Looks good :beer:
 
got the other side welded up the same as the first. now it's time to run more stringers and tie it to the rearward part of the frame.:awesomework:
