..popped in from Buses to take a shower after today's long ass events. Huge thanks to my two special helpers..most definatly couldn't of gotten it done without you!



So, upon raising the beam from full slam-o-matic, the shift linkage operation has become hindered and I haven't been able to get enough clearance to shift into reverse. There are no shocks up front currently, but I opted to go for some gas ones. I have a couple other parts to replace before she can hit the road again. Also still waiting on my adjustable spring plates..

So it only took 5 weeks to come, but I finally got the rest of my parts in today..fricken redick!

Here is the main jazz:

I mocked it up, and said to myself..shoot, we need to get even lower back here!  So I modified the arms a little more..before and after.

With them all the way compressed, they match my frame clearance; 0". The little adjusters will allow me to fine tune..

Other then that, got the rest of the parts to mount up the larger dual master. A quick flush and they should be good to go.

..just in time for snow to hit.

So, the deed is done!

This is where the muffler used to sit:

..and now:

I should mount a small digital camera to the end of this steering box..I'm sure it would be a scary video..pry wouldn't last too long.

Overall, I evened out the rake..mission accomplished. Front to back, I'm still raked about 1.5". Maybe tomorrow I'll pull it out and get some better pictures.
