Powder Keg:
Rear Springs upgraded\o/ Sorry no pictures. Way too dirty for the camera:o) We'll be doing the fronts on Monday probably.

~Wes~

Powder Keg:
Took a break from mechanic work. I wanted to weld :zap: Those new back springs raised the truck an inch or so. It was already a little bit of a climb into the cab. So, I decided that some steps were in order.

I cut up a few pieces of scrap metal and welded them up. It still isn't done but it will give you a good idea of how it will look when done. I'll be capping the tubing. I still have to finish the wood and paint it all up.



I'll try and get these done this week:o)

AdeV:
8 wheel nuts eh? They really wanted to make it painful to change a tyre in the pouring rain I guess...  :lol:

Nice step - I need to do something similar on my old bus, the first step is a bit of a reach even for me with my long legs...

Powder Keg:
3/4 ton has 8 lug nuts and 1/2 ton has 5 lug nuts:o)

I think they'll be nice to use when I get them done:o)

~Wes~

Powder Keg:
Trying to finish up the front springs. Nothing but trouble. It's a good thing I can fabricate:o) I'll post a few pictures later.

I was distracted a little yesterday. I made a zombie Apocalypse bumper for the front. Got to play with my welder and new Plasma cutter.





I'll probably end up jamming one of those flames into my thigh at some point :doh:

Made mainly from leftovers from work\o/ 3/8" C channel frame material for the center piece and the ends are made out of 1/4" plate:o) Lots of welding!!! 6018 rod root pass and 7010 rod cover pass ground mostly smooth:o)

~Wes~
