Nice. Now I see why that kick up was needed in the rear.

Yeah. I kinda blew the measurements though, both the front and the rear are two inches below the frame rail. You get what I was trying to do....I'm very pleased with those pieces however, they are far better than any of the aftermarket products available.

Oh yeah....I was mid bead on the left front shock mount when the welder ran out of wire. Son of a bitch.

Ran over to home depot but lost an hour today for that.

One more thing, and I swear I won't talk about shocks for at least a couple of months... I do want to move the rear upper mounts In, so that I can move the lower mounts Out as far as they can go.

However, IMO, those who are comfortable buying ammo, vs reloading. Might be in for a surprise as 11/2020 nears. If a R doesn't keep the WH. Ammo will be back $ $500 per 1 k pricing and reloading components will be a matter of knowing your local reloading store.

Thats why I'm reloading, they will go after ammo hard next, welcome to CA bgc for your monthy 50rnd allotment

Any Ho's need any 2 stroke rc motors? I have 18 that needs new homes. Ranging in size from .15 to 65. Most are OS max, supertigre and a few European's thrown in for good measure.

OBC (OBH?) Heck of a job. That will be a show winner. It's great that you are doing a show work truck. Way too many street rod or too nice to offroad trucks out there.

Reloading: the time commitment is tough. I dont shoot comp anymore so volume is low, again time. Maybe in 2 years when 2 of the kiddos leave the house, as long as the Dem-bags don't foul it up. Also I really just shoot 9, 38 and 223 in volume. For now 223 and 9 are cheaper to buy than reload. And 30 carbine was honestly cheaper to buy than to set up for reloading. The other calibers I can single stage on the equipment I have.
I think automation and volume caught up with ammo, and the prices are too good to beat right now.
But if I can find a nice setup for 38 and 223 for a great price, I would probably do it.

That's a good point.

I can still load .223 cheaper than I can buy decent quality brass cased ammo, but I haven't shot .223 in probably 6 months. Shooting bigger rifle, and especially precision rifle, reloading still wins hands down.

Truck looks good.

Someone shot a bear where I was hunting on Friday?

Have you guys seen the Pork Sword bolt action pistol? Out of a 10" barrel, they are saying that .308 is still supersonic at 900 yards. They only have .308 and .300 blk right now. Sounds super light and compact for hunting though. Thoughts?

I'm about to switch from .308 to 6.5 Creedmore. Going to sell my Axis with scope (or two), left over ammo, dies, and brass, so I can move into a Savage 10/110 precision. Sure I won't get much traction on the Axis, but oh well.

Thanks, everyone.

I know it's not a truck thread...I appreciate the ability to share the project here with you folks.

Pork Sword looks like a solution looking for a problem. Chambered in high power rifle round doesn't make a pistol more accurate at long distances.

You've done a lot of good, thoughtful design and fabrication on that truck. It's a work to be proud of, sir.

I definitely chuckled at that bit of marketing about how shorter, more stiff barrels can be more accurate. Solution looking for a problem sounds about right.
