It's been awhile since I updated this. Just like my truck we have not taken very many pictures. Since my truck is a HSP getting a set of triples on it I had time to help my dad out. I got all the body mounts made all the crossmembers modified and the fuel cell mounted. I spent a lot of time getting the 72 core support to work with the 06 frame and fit around the radiator and intercooler. Stripped most everything off the frame and removed the engine, trans and transfer case. If it doesn't rain here tomorrow we are going to sand blast the frame and paint it this weekend. My dad got all the computers mounted and the wires run to them. Got all the switches mounted including the 4x4, headlight, windows and a few others. He has been spending a lot of time molding the 06 cluster into the 72 dash and so far it looks great. He is just finishing up the fiberglass work on the bezel around the cluster. If I get some time I will post some pictures. My truck is supposed to be done next week so after I get it back my dad will be on his own again.
We are not sure on the suspension set up just yet. He wants to run 35" tires but were not sure what going to need to be done to the suspension to get them to fit and still ride half way nice. So far we removed one spring in the rear leaf pack and set the torsion bars as loose as they will go. We will get the body back on it next week and see what needs to be done.
