    Congrats on getting the title.Real nice work so far on the truck, keep it up. I know the feeling of not getting stuff done, so far I have had mine in the shop for 11+ years just sitting there.

    SO when's the First International MM/D/Ram 50 truck show and pizza fest??? and where are we holding it :D

    ok guys....i kind of forgot about this thread...then again i havent dont a lot to the truck....been stock piling trucks and parts..

    i got 2 ram 50's for 450! one is complete needs carb work and the title was lost but its gettable....the other is missing the front clip of the frame...but lots of good parts...
    Too bad ill be cutting out the front clip of the other truck for mine..

    Here is what happened. friend said he would bag my truck.(like 2years ago) he failed but cost me alot of money and ruined my uppers and lower control arms. I played hell trying to find them....so i bought tubular ones from DHP. i dont want them now that i have my parts truck and i these tubulars for trade/sale. But since i modified my x member so much in the process they will know longer take stock lowers. so i need another x member or i have to build one.

    So i stopped working on the front untill i get rid of the DHP arms. I plan on getting the carb work on the one truck taken care of and just sticking the motor in my project. So now the front has taken a complete turn.

    So now i am getting the rear set up done.... once i have the 3 link done i will bring my bed in and start getting that to fit, mount my air tank and other small things. Plans are to finish the rear as much as possible then pull it all apart and weld the bed and cab completely up from my body drop.

    once i am that far ill plan further.

    PICS ARE COMING......I GOT A FEW TO THROW UP JUST HAVE TO TRANSFER THEM ONTO LAPTOP.

    THANKS FOR LOOKING

    So

    i was gonna get all fancy and get a nice fuel cell..but because i was gonna run a small block in it. i think for now since i am going to be running a 2.0 out of a D50, ill prolly stick with stock tank......unless i sell my control arms.

    the control arm money if for a fuel cell, new bushings for my uppers and lowers, and consumables for plasma and material...

    well here is a update..

    i got most of my tabs welded up. Only have the 4 for the lower bars to weld out. I am gonna add some plates to the back side of the lower tabs to strengthen them some. I am gonna add some gussets to my upper tabs that are on the rear also.

    My other progress --i added some more to my 3 link...gussets of sort. pic below....


    next plans are to finish my tabs add my plates and gussets to the needed ones. Remove my old bag plates and redo some welds on the bushing sleeves. And cut off the excess pipe and cap the end of my center bar of my 3 link. Redo bag plates on bars then set up upper bag plates.
    thanks for looking

    Well today i got a good bit done. I got my upper 3link bar all welded. Just have to cap the end off on the center piece and some clean up.
    All the tabs are welded out on x-member and rear. They just need to be cleaned up.
    I cut out my 2 gussets for the upper tabs on my rear and they are ready to be put on.
    Lower bars are fixed and old bag plates have been removed.

    TO DO:
    box in the back side of the lower tabs on rear
    weld on gussets for upper tabs
    cap off 3-link piece
    clean up rear, x-member, lower bars and upper link bar
    Install bushings in lower bars
    Put everything back together-
    after those things comes gas and air tank mounting and bag plates.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------there is more but thats just the next couple of things before i do a good cleaning of the garage and some organizing. Then its time to take care of some random things that need to be done around the house and with my wifes expedition.
    NEW PICS WILL BE UP SOON
    thanks for looking!

    yeah i used to wait till i couldnt work in it then clean it...that got old fast. now i try to clean up my mess every day after or before i start. I agree its so much better working in a nice clean area that is organized. Besides that i have been going through all boxes of junk and random things and get the garage back to its intended use...not a big junk/storage building.....lol
