Nice looking pickup. It sounds like quite a list. One question though, why powder coat the axles? It sounds like a heck of a cost an effort for something so close to the ground.

I hope this will reply, I'm not sure how to use this site, not real tech-y. Is there a stronger option? I will have all new guts and knuckles. I will have them pull all the old stuff out and give me the tubes knuckles and pumpkins back. Since everything is apart I was hoping to send frame and undercarage in all at once for the discount on blasting and powder coating. 700$ for everything. If you have an idea to save some money I'm all ears! I just don't want to have to be under there painting them all the time.

Sounds sweet. I've always wanted to do a 73-78 ford rclb cummins conversion.

As far as posting pics. Open a photobucket account and then load pics on there. Then use the image code from photobucket and post it here.

Well I have alot of pics of the tear down of the Dodge and the Ford. I dont think I will put all of them on here for the fact most is just for me to be able to put it back together now that it is just down to the frame. But if you guys need specific stuff let me know I will reply when I can. The Railroad is not super forgiving on time. Here are a couple pics of the truck when I got them to the House.
