I really dropped the ball updating this thread and getting on here. Sorry guys. The past month have been really crazy. But, this truck moves under it's own power now! I'll get this thread up to date now.
Installed zero rate add a leaves in the front to move the front axle forward to center the axle in the wheel well.


Next I swapped the steering arm on the front axle because this is a Dodge front axle and the steering arms are different. Chevy one installed.

Now I moved on to welding the weld washers to my 4 link brackets.





Next I started welding on the 4 link suspension hangers.



Welding holes shut in the frame.


More hanger pics.



Installed boxing plates to the next cross member.

Welded gussets in hangers.



Finished gooseneck hitch capping top of frame.


Frame boxed up to behind front spring shackles.
