Crazy Talk Customs

truck when we got it sported Djm 4/5 Drop kit. Everything is going except the Dropped I-beams.
Springs and Shocks pulled Coils and Shocks are stripped	Spring Perches Cut off and now the building begins.
Here's a shot of the stock engine bay. We have a ton of stuff to move to get the wheels to fit.
The wheel just starting to be mocked up. It still has an 1.5" to go but notching for the tie rods and redoing the radius arm crossmember and it should lay flat with ease.	Here's a shot of the new wheels. There mocked up so the truck lays flat on the ground.
	All of the old suspension has been pulled. The rearend is mocked up and the pinion angle is set. Also all the crossmembers have been pulled including the gas tank. And the passenger side notch is welded on. Now its time to start building the 4-link. It should be sick.

Front bag mounts are almost done. Just a few extra gussets for strength and mount the upper shock mount and we can call the front suspension done.


Here it starts for the rear suspension. From the begging we wanted to do something different other than round 4-link bars and bridge work. We decided to build the rear suspension to reassemble I-beam. These are the upper and lower 4-link bars. The bridge work for the upper bag mounts will also be bent I-beam.
Here is the lower link bar tacked into place.






Front all finished up and painted.

	Here's the new fuel cell. Its designed to sit on top of the frame so no need for bottom tubing support. It comes in at just under 21 gallons, will use the stock fuel pump and sender and has internal baffling for strength and fuel slosh.
Now all we have to do is get it installed lengthen the fuel lines and get this truck on the road.	Stock fuel pump in its new home.
Here's the fuel cell in place. Currently the lines are being lengthened and the wiring is being set back up.	Added to the list was a set of BBK Chrome headers. Originally setup for a Explorer. The driver side went in with minimal issues.
The passenger side was a different story. The header tubes didn't clear the tube work for the front bag mounts or the inside edge of the frame. Since cutting the tube work or notching the frame weren't an option for us. We opted to cut the header apart and redo the position to get them to fit.	The stock flange was cut off and the internal ports were reground while 3/4" was taken off the ends of the header tubes. We opted to weld the tubes to the inside edge of the flange so the headers would not need to be re-chromed. It was a chore but it worked out perfectly.
	Looks pretty good if I do say so myself.
Two out of the three stock computer harness we had to lengthen 6".	The 3rd brake light is shaved clean
No pits, high or low spots. Should just take a guide coat of body filler and it should be ready for prime and paint.	Same deal for the door handles. Very little body filler required to finish the shave job out.
The same couldn't be said for the driver door however. At some point body work was performed on the door. It opens a can of worms when you find something like this. I hammer dollied the surrounding area and was able to get the dent out. This should have happened the first time around. But to many people are body filler happy instead of fixing the problem the right way.	There it sits. Our work is done for now....
