I decided to treat myself to a new project. Lou still has it right now. I sent him the body and SSD trans and a little inspiration. Here is where it is now. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Last edited by SHOme; 12-19-2017 at 07:02 AM. Reason: correction |

| Re: Matzilla Crew Cab F-350 Built some Gmade RSD 100mm shocks. Dusted off some D35s I've been saving. Pulled the interior out of a Nissan hardbody I couldn't sell. I will have to make some links and measure the drive shafts. Hopefully I'll be able to find some kind of MIP combo that will work. I am concerned about the rear driveshaft length with the SSD trans. All I need is the chassis. It should be here Monday. I packed my Christmas list with the rest of the goodies I need. One problem I have is I bought a 3 link bracket for the front axle from rcrecycler and it doesn't appear it fits. I doesn't clear the pumpkin. The 4 link rear fits fine. Anyone have any knowledge to share? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk |

Cool project! It may not be a performer, but it will certainly be an attention getter! I love crewcabs and I love truggies. Can't go wrong with the mashup! Keep up the good work. |

She arrived today in all her glory. Man, Lou does great work. Here she is on the scales. Body, transmission/transfer case and chassis. 3.5 lbs. She is not really going on a diet either. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk |

| Re: Matzilla Crew Cab F-350
Need a little help/ reassurance. I am working on my links. Here is what I think I know. Please correct me if I'm wrong and tell me what I don't know. Rear Upper and lower links should be parallel Upper and lower links should be same length if possible Front Upper and lower links should be parallel Panhard and steering links should be as long as possible and be as parallel as possible Questions I have: Do the rear shocks need to be perpendicular to the frame? Is the a benefit of angling them on way or the other? How far can I rotate my front axle forward to get a better pinion angle? Is there a known happy place angle? I have 3/16 and 1/4 inch Stainless for the links. Both fit 4-40 all thread tightly. I was thinking to use the 1/4 for the lower links for extra weight down low and durability. The 3/16 everywhere else. Opinions? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk |
