"Betty" build-up

Finally got my truck onto the right track of becoming a capable recovery truck.

The last couple pictures are going to be near actual ride height.

Just need to get the mounts for the springs mocked up. Have no idea how I am going to do it yet! Idea's? I would like to move the stock springs to the perches on the CUCV axles. How have some of you tackled that?

All i can say is WOW! its gonna look awesome!

Use http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com spring mounts and mount them under the frame rail. especially if you are going as high as you emphasized in the pictures

Thank you for the help!

I would love to acquire those re drilled deuce wheels from you, too bad you're across the country.

i see tech-ers... must be blairsville or sacremento, cause that is not the laramie campus.

if you search my thread 'found one' there is some spring mount ideas. i used the cucv front spring spacing and GM front springs. works very well. for the rear i is easy to use wahtever you want. just weld on some new perches. looks like you will have to move the springs inboard in the rear so they clear the dual wheels

Hell yeah tech-ers! Haha. We are at the Blairsville campus.

Thanks for the tip ryanroo. It is not a dual rear wheel though. That was the day that I got the tires delivered, and I just had to see what she would look like. Even with my current measurements though, it seems that I will have to have rear mounts that sit half inside the frame rail and half under the frame rail.
