Is it me or are your rear shocks at different angles?

Shocks are at different angles, the differential forced me to mount the shock a certain way. The whole chassis is offset to the driver side as well, I may try to change this. | |

Very nice. Do you have any type of bushings that your knuckles ride on or is it metal on metal? Also, how did you attach the tubes to the diff housings? |

Did you decide to run this link setup so you could run your driveshafts at such a sideways angle?

 I drilled and tapped the sides of the gear boxes. On the ring gear side I counter sunk the screws, on the other side I drilled out enough area to install button head screws. The shafts are made with 5/16" tubing drilled oout and brazed to some 1/4" rod. The housing is made out of 1/2" tube and washers that fit snugly around the tube, maybe 7/16", mig welded.    Quote:

Steering arms.  Tough to get a decent weld on this little stuff.  Steering is attached.   |

That's a very cool build the same kind of creativity the "old ones" are always talking about.  |
