hey seth sorry i didnt get by yesterday to help, from what i heard from coop and robert told me was that you got quite a ways to go, and without having the lower coil buckets you either gota lot of fab time to make a solid 44- ttb coil buckets adapter, plus trac-bar mount.
Im not trying to be all negative, but can you just bolt the ttb back under there so you can easily get it rolling by monday? and then do the sas another weekend once you have all the stuff you need?
here is a couple links from a thread i made on fullsize bronco about sas swap mainly dealing with the 60 swap, but the tracbar mounts and stuff can be helpfull to you.

Well we made some really good progress yesterday. Got the frame pulled back together and got a new front crossmember fabbed up and welded in. Also put in a gussett near the crack in the crossmember. Hopefully get some more done after highway cleanup today. At least finish the welding up and start thinking about the track bar bracket. I talked with james trent on email and he is still has the lower coil mounts, so one way or another those will soon be on there way. Anyone goin down houston way for any reason tonight and coming back tomorrrow by any chance? Worth a shot, he missed gettin them to scott by like a half hour apparently.
Next few nbig things:
Plate/gussett frame
Track bar bracket
buy hardware
PS - the TTB is not going back on - I will talk to the city lady and buy some time, I think she will be cool if I explain the situation to her
-
she's all patched up mang, you should be ready to drill holes and bolt everything on now
I also left my "drill motor" for you
and welding overhead with 6011s sucks
-
My apologies for not making it out after Chicken Oil, I came back home to feed the dog and had to finish up a couple things for school. Tomorrow after 3 I can help if you still need it.
-
how did you patch that nasty crack under that body mount?
-
plated the inside of the frame and then put another plate along the bottom of the framerail over the crack
-
-
Not the prettiest work I've ever done but I think it'll do the trick
-
Oh **** you're sending the wolf? (Eric) sheet negro, that's all you had to say...
-
if you need some help today when you get off work seth holler at me as i am free after like 4 if i go to my last class that is...979-574-5870

Man - The frame is officially intact enough now to bolt this stuff on. I am deeply indebted to Eric for stayin after I left for work to finish up. Thanks to everyone who came out to lend a hand this weekend. I owe you all. Tommy did some pretty welds up front - I guess that whole practice thing pays off. Tate - your welder is safe..in my bedroom. I now can get some stuff done this week kinda solo until I need to fab the track bar mount up. At least thats what I'm hoping. I'll try to keep ya'll posted.

oh yeah don't forget to flip the switch on the drill from hammerdrill mode to drill mode
yep tommy's a freakin master with a 6011 rod
and your oil filter has a hole in it :D
-
got the spring cups UPS today - thanks trent
-
I just now saw the line about the hole in the oil filter - i was wondering what the hell was goin on there...- so how did that happen exactly?
-
rod got stuck and then came loose a little fast and tapped the filter.
What kinda oil is that? Crude?
you needed to change it anyway :flipoff2:
