Brandon's Fantasy Factory 1980 Build

[Marsh99]

yeah well when i bought it it had a tow kit ghetto rigged on it so thats what I think happenned... I didnt run my wires until the bed was back on.
But I think my plan is to take the wires off the truck and check them that way.

harnesses installed... roll cage welded in...

haha, mine had the same ghetto wiring. Mine even had "electric" door locks. It was a joke. Random wires spliced and running everywhere.

I need to do the alignment, replace a power steering line, finish filling front diff with fluid, get battery strapped down... that's just before Saturday

 

[sixstringsteve]

Did you build your cage? If so, do you have more info on that. I did not see anything in your thread. If you did not, where did you get it and how was it putting it in?

Thanks.

I bought from a dude for next to nothing it was a home made setup it was a bolt in with sleeves to hold it. I welded the sleeves and added a harness bar bolted it to frame using body mounts I have pic I will post

looks a lot like an allpro cage to me.

 

[Marsh99]

The reason I trust his work is he had it in a truggy that he had rolled a couple times and it is still in on piece good enough for me....
