No really... Ever since I got it in my head that I wanted a REPU I said I wanted to build a Pro-Touring truck and here you are on track to do just that! :nod: Seriously your build will be a blue print! :D :icon_tup:

What made you decide to do a panhard bar vs. a watts link? Packaging due to current coilover location? Drag Car?

Looks great so far.

almoststockrepu 11-16-15 05:11 PM

I have a watts link as well. No, not specifically drag. More of a "do whatever I want" truck.

vqturbo 11-17-15 08:47 AM

Semi-confused. Doesn't a watts link have two frame attachment points and is actuated on a cam on the center of the axle housing? Not sure i've ever seen a watts link and a panhard bar before.

almoststockrepu 11-17-15 10:11 AM

Yes you are correct about the watts link. I will run one or the other depending on the specific situation that i am in. There is also a sway bar for the panhard bar.

Has there been any updates on this? :) Just looking for more inspiration!

Here is a stock frame vs the new frame

This is stock frame weight vs new frame ( Stripped stock frame so weight comparison would be the same )

SiRMarlon 09-15-16 10:42 PM

I REALLY want to do this with my truck! :nod:

Sorry, I was posting from my phone...apparently it loaded the wrong thread.

Question: those shocks/springs, are they usable on a first gen?

If you are asking if they will "bolt on" to any year first gen, then no.

damic 10-07-16 09:06 AM

No not bolt on, manufacterer /type/...

almoststockrepu 10-12-16 06:43 AM

Hopefully the last time i have to install the motor for a while.

What wheels are those black ones? Looks great alongside with your fabrication skills!
