Flipping the leaf springs around to put the fixed mounts in front and shackles in the rear like Chevy did.

Starting body work

Building body mounts

http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3ecfc325.jpg

The metal tab pulls the body tight as it slides back. The screw lines up in the slot to keep the body aligned in the front.

The rear is held with a magnet glued in place on the body. I built frame work for the magnet to sit centered on the frame.
When I sit the front of the body down and pull back it self centers then the back sets the magnet right in place body don't move. I like how it works.

Here is the body mounted. Still need to do more body work and paint but I threw a quick coat of primer on for some pics. Chassis is complete except front drive shaft.

This is where it sits at the moment. Been working on it off and on for a while but just now got around to starting a build thread. Will post more updates as they come.

Looks like she could haul three or four whole potatos. I can't wait to see it finished.

Here it is trailer hooked up and loaded. I ran a DX4S radio so I can at the push of a button switch from running my tow rig to running my blazer.

Re: Clod bodied TF2 chassis
 
this is a nice build. would be sweet with currie rears and aluminum rims that are 8 lug . I hate looking at sweet builds, they make me spend $ by putting more ideas in my head

The more I see those wheels the more I want a set... good job on the rig! Care to share more info on flipping a switch and swapping what rig you're driving?
