alittle...progress

Post by zakt »

got a front axle to roll the truck around, and getting close to welding up all the rear holes from the old leaf hangers. Also, getting ready to set the front up with brake lines and mounts from my 85' F350 (80-97 F350 brake lines are the same).

Nice.

I still covet/envy your jack stands.... Don't you need bigger/better/badder ones so I can have your old, wornout, used ones?

Religion is not the strongest of my strong suites. But I'm almost certain the commandment that says"Tho shall not covet another man's....." includes his jackstands.A couple of "Hail" Henry Fords ought to do it

Those jackstands are awesome. They could probably hold up those gals in the "Rate this tailgate" thread! :D

Yea big trucks and 4x4s, We used them for frame stands, and basically that's what they are designed for . We also had shorter stand that looked simular to what many of us have in our garage only rated at higher weights ratings

Those bad boys are rated 10tons and I believe go like 46" high, I will have to max them out and see what the height is :D. Looks like you can no longer get these specific ones though. Once I get the 12-14" lift on and the 40" tires I will need something tall to get it off the ground without using the axles.
