I wanna Rock! I WANT TO ROCK!

The words of Twisted Sister seem to apply here :greg:

I saw twisted sister in concert once! This is the first time I associated it with a Binder! Cool Cheston!

You work fast

I can't wait to see this thing

This is such a cool build. I wish I could be there to spray some paint on the rocks. Mmmmmmmmmmmm............paint, I love paint!

I have a much more obscure appropriate quote.

"Rock, rock on!"

Cool... Nice direction for the rig!

 

[ChestonScout]

Im pretty excited about this. Still nervous and wondering if Im doing the right thing tho. To late now I guess.

At full stuff the chunk is still 4 inches away from the oil pan. There is no possible way the axle will ever hit my oil pan again! The upper link mounts will hit the frame before the axle gets to the motor. Between that and my bump stops its golden!

I think it will flex as good as it did before. Im getting a set of Fox coilovers on trade for the front.

It will be rear steer as well. I think Im going to have to leave the leafs in back for awhile tho. Im running out of money fast. Hydro steering is spendy!


I have no work right now so Im trying to get a good chunk of work done. I have a couple interviews set up so hopefully I will have a job soon. Basically Im hoping to get all of this done with just the money I sold the one tons for. Its going to be close but I think i can do it.

Nice work. When the motor go in?

 

[ChestonScout]

Thanks guys!


Thats still the old motor. You can see the hacked together oil pan still! As soon as the Scout is rolling again I will start the motor swap

How did you get the scout in your garage? Or is it somewhere else?

 

[ChestonScout]

It is my garage. Getting it in was easy. It was still on one tons and I had some small tires to throw on it. Getting it back out is going to be interesting. Im considering building some stout wheel rollers, drop the axle down on to them then put tires on it outside. Only other option is to tear the suspension out, drag it out of the garage, then assemble again in the driveway.



I really need a shop

If you need some roller tires once you get it outside I have some you can borrow.

They are rockwell pattern NDT's at about 40 tall. (stock 2 1/2 ton tires)

I will take you up on that for sure. In fact I would like to get them from you soon. That way I can let it sit on tires in the garage instead of jackstands. My garage's ceiling is plenty high. About 10 feet. They put a 7' door on tho. Your just in Ogden right? Plus I would like to see your truck. Thanks!

 

[Chevycrew]

Well it mutual, I want to see the scout too.

My truck is just big, not really anything impressive about it.


Ill pm you my number.

Put it on the rims with no tires?

 

[Chevycrew]

What rims? lol.


Wait, what happened to the drums? Can't you roll it out on them?

Looking at mine you might need to put some 2x4's down under the drums so the drain plug clears the ground, but it should roll out on them.

 

[ChestonScout]

Axles came with the brakes removed so no drums. They however also came mohawked so if I had drums it would work
