Wow havent been here in a while. Will have a shit ton of picts to post after I get them all sorted. As of now its getting close to being completed. Mayo and myself took a maiden voyage it the mini last year and the f-ing front wheel fell off and tore the quarter panel to hell. It has been...

Im really not sure what you would call it, I was guessing a triangulated 4 link but since the lower links are set to the rear you description would work just as well. The add on Craigslist where I found it said it was a cantilever setup which is def wrong. Its an old build done 12 years or so...

Made a little more progress. Had a buddy come over and do some of the welding that needed to be finished before mounting the bed. Burned on a set of shock tabs so I could mount the new shocks. He also took 1.5 inches off of the air tank legs so it can sit lower. Also cut about 1" of height from...

Spent some time getting my air cleaner assembly to fit on the carburetor correctly. Before the fix the area that I am filling in was open allowing air to bypass the filter and directly enter the carb. Still have some holes to fill and some work to do so it can be properly secured but the hard...

Mine is a 4 banger but its gasoline :biggrin:. Just trying to make this a reliable driver. Want all the mechanicals and electrical as sound as possible.

Do some more work already slacker. I havent seen those pillars installed yet?

Received 2 packages this week. First is a sheet of 3/16" aluminum. 16" x 36" Using this to make a new bottom plate for the air cleaner assembly. Also using it for a nice mounting plate for all the custom wiring Mayo is gonna add under the dash. Need something strong to hold up to the pounding...

This is just after we got the switches working again. My boy in the truck playing around with them. The setup is still slow because its only running off the shop compressor. 90psi and a 25' long 1/4" air line. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mji4j5mAfdU&feature=plcp

Heres a few picts from the past couple of weeks. Seat back cover sewn up and put back on. A preview of the finished setup too. Need some cutting and welding done on the lower section before it gets recovered. Put the bed on and layed the air and fuel setup in the bed to see how its going...

You were there Saturday fool. You know whats up lol The seat back is sewn and back on the seat. Turned out nice for a total fudge job. We replaced the door pins and made some door gap adjustments with the floor jack. I have all the valves installed, wired and plumbed. Its nice being able to...

Another update. Trying hard to get the bed back on so I can put the fuel cell in place and the air compressors, air tank and batteries. Had some of the stray parts I needed delivered to the house. The next round its door pins and pass thru grommets. Weld in the shock tabs and install the rear...

Short vid of my son taking a ride on the back end. I know the setup is slow and airs up uneven. That is one 1/4" line running 90 pounds from my shop compressor. Dont have any control of the individual bags either. They all fill and all dump from one manual valve...

Slow moving update. A little bit to share so I figured I would post some picts up. Mayo got a great start on the wiring for the new fuse panel setup and have room now for the bank of relays to come next. Did some welding on the rear end that fixed a few problem areas. Bought and installed the...

Just replaced the burned up blower motor resistor on my 2004 Silverado 1500. That was the easiest repair I have ever had to do. No idea why I waited so long to do it.

Just got mine back on the ground. I think its low enough now :smile:
