IRO D30 truss, C-gussets, HD LCA mounts, 5/8" OTK steering, 760x u-joints, almost alloy tabs, lock-rite, 4.88 gears, u-bolt yoke, I feel like I have more but thats all I can think of right now. My only worry is the weak point is no the locker. We will see how she handles the 36s *knock on wood*. The 8.8 is getting trussed, perches, 4.88s, mini spool and a few more odds and ends.

Removed the heater vent that is below the HVAC controls on the pre '97's To make a switch panel. The vent that flops around and is useless. And cut the vent portion out like this:

IMAG0907_zps7dee9c7f.jpg?t=1364390403


IMAG0908_zps1047796b.jpg?t=1364390422

I then destroyed this perfectly good Gateway Top Cover(I work in the wholesale PC/Laptop parts trade, so we have many of these laying around) to make the blank panel for the switches.


IMAG0911_zpsb17503af.jpg?t=1364390470
This is how it fits.

IMAG0919_zpsaa158497.jpg?t=1364390561


And how it'll look in the dash. (dash is just primered awaiting some black paint, i DO NOT have a ghetto painted interior)


IMAG0921_zpsdad3e67c.jpg?t=1364390603

ill post a finished, installed pic as soon as i finish painting the dash and cutting a couple holes for the 2 switches i have now.

What? I'm having trouble parsing that. I'm pretty sure you can't use those words in that combination.
