I was going to put up some pics for poor cameraless Simon....battery is dead!
Give me an hour, got the rear cross-member today. Too long, dropped it off again, hopefully they can get to it this afternoon. Balancer said engine should be ready to pick up Saturday.
Slowly coming together.

Simon,
Looks good, you are movin fast and furious!!
I envy you didn't have to scrape all the GM waxie underbody goo off...Sounds like the salt, mud and debris took it off for you. I used a gallon of lacquer thinner... couldn't smoke for hours.
That stuff is like steroidal gopher snot.
Jegs has some 2 gallon over flows with 1/4" lines for the tequila, perhaps even a cab mounted pump system should be in order?:joker:

Do you think a pump is necessary :alc:
Spose you are right... 1/4" IV line and a ball valve? full on full off?
Truck looks great Guys.
We really need to keep Simon and Dale somewhat sober for their tech input, how about letting them have a shot glass each and keep the bottle in the cooler.

Someone stole my camera
and yes I will go get a new one soonNo my phone doesnt have a camera
James envy? I have scraped washed poked blasted so much mud off the truck and there is still dirt in the crossmembers
Here is the pics of the fuel cell and the cross member (fixed) Never had any time to touch either today, Simon in tomorrow....and maybe that slacker Dale too:rofl:. They might get comething done...since I have a shop to run too. And for all who are wondering.....I needed a way to keep the box mobile when we took it off (too many $$ in parts in it and no where to store anything else), it didn't fit the trailer very well. Simon made fun of me:rofl:. Ghetto-boy box hauler....:joker:

:thankyou: for the Pic's
Cool pictures, looks like a ton of fun!!!!!
I get it now.
Looks like you chose an aftermarket sending unit, good luck with that. The crossmember is for the shocks and to return some "shear" to the rear end? Having removed the spare tire members and all 3 of the other crossmembers, i spose you'll need it. As well looks like your running one leaf and an overload, side to side movement of the rear end is being controlled by a panhard or track bar? Maybe just a solid leaf bushing to hold it in place?
Looks great man!! You prolly shaved 250 pounds, very nice

We didn't pull all the crossmembers, just the spare tire one. And yeah lateral movement on the diff was a concern....I haven't covered all the bases with that yet. But we have lightened things up a bit.
