iight as some of u may know allie got a 94 dime with a newer sonoma front clip. allready bagged. some of u have seen the truck but most have not. this truck was nasty ugly bad. OK ill start from the rear. ok bagged. chassie tech bag on one side re7 on the other. bags dident lift to same highth. also the automan bag rubbed the notch. the notch was kicked out and rubbing the wheel. the notch was cracked in a few places. bearly tacked on. even i think there is some JB weld on this bitch. the driver side frame rail was an inch lower than the passanger side. the axle was kicked over making the truck dog walk. and it was mono leafed. ok moving up to the front. the spring pockets where not even treamed out. crazy? so we get to breaking this bitch down the bushings where shot. ok ok there was no bushings they where GONE!

so here is the good. well after me and my boy Troy started workin on it at his shop in Palisten saturday. we got the rear frame rails stright so i dident have to back half it. whitch was in the plans. but saved time a money since allie needs to get this thing on the road ASAP! so we cut the old notch off. built a one piece notch out of 2x3 box tubbing. turned out 2x2 box tubbing side ways to make it a lil cooler for the bridge suport. so we made our own 2 link bas. kinda wished i would of orderd a few more bushings. and some axle tabs to turn the bottom link bars side ways also. maybe later down the road. where going to make the bags mount on the bars. Troy built the wish bone today. he said it was realy sick. next weekend where going to finish up the rear. get ride of this getto ass tellaphone wire shit they got hooked to the vavles. then trem out the spring pockets pull the spindles off my old red dime and upper arms and put on this truck. notch for tire rods clean up under hood and yank the inner fenders out. to make it lay lil lower. going to get some uper arms for it from that one guy on dfw minis. NOT KEITH FROM NFAMUS but the other guy.

here are a few pics

old notch u can see the crack in it

we still got to clean up all the wireing. i got to go buy some wire. they had the vavles ran so weird. hot wire 4ga off the battery to a 14 ga wire then spliced in to all the valves. then the telphone wire ran to the switchs then the wire is grounded off the switchs. but yeah we got to clean up the wireing. put a preasuer switch on this hoe.
