Cool project. Sorry to hear about your son, but I think working on and finishing this truck will be very cathartic for you.

Decided to post some pictures. Im on a Chromebook, so its difficult. Plus Im basically a technological caveman, so it makes it worse. Hope these work and they arent all sideways.
1st picture is the splice. It was extended for the 4-link. The outer bars land on it nicely. The splice also has backing plates at the top, middle and bottom. And now its boxed. Ill have to figure something out with the inner bars.
2nd picture is the dash. It was the better of the two. We welded in some backing plates, and I took it to work to strip it. Next we will fill and smooth it, and then we are going to go ahead and paint it. For motivation and to show the color of the truck. If it has to it can come back out in 10 minutes.
3rd picture is a lazy mock up of the 4-link. I was anxious and goofing around. The mounts will land right where I want them. Ill fiish cleaning the rearend when we finish welding it up.Picture folder for Isaacs truck

Here are some stance pictures. You guys are used to low, but its not bad. It has almost 7" between the lowest cross member and the ground. My charger has 4-1/2", so I can live with it. The back might get moved a little, we will see. It will be coilovers, so it can be dropped more if needed.
I know the fender is crooked. I threw it on for the picture. The cab had not been leveled. It has been now, and we are starting the IFS install.Picture folder for Isaacs truck

We have made some progress in the last few weeks. I finally had a weekend where I had everything for welding. It seems I run out of rods, gas or tungsten quite frequently. We started the IFS cross member install. Its pretty close to the motor mounts, so we need smaller torch cups to get in there. But the welding is done up until the back of the cab. After the cross member is in, Ill cut the "top hats" and then assemble the suspension. Then its on to the 4-link.
I made some sticks to hold it at the height needed for installation. It worked great. 3 levels, 2 tape measures and 45 minutes of double and triple checking, and it finally went in. Then we found out I didnt have the metal clean enough, so we cut it out, cleaned it up and re-installed it. Oops. Its now, square, straight and level. It was kind of difficult, because the frame is not straight in any direction up there. But we managed.Picture folder for Isaacs truck
